}}KNRK (94.7 MHz) is a commercial, FM radio station, licensed to Camas, Washington, serving the Portland metropolitan area. It is owned by Entercom and airs a modern AC-leaning alternative rock radio format. KNRK's studios and offices are located on SW Bancroft Street in Downtown Portland.[1]

The transmitter is located off SW Fairmont Court in Portland.[2] While several Portland FM stations are powered at 100,000 watts, KNRK's effective radiated power (ERP) is 6,300 watts. But it uses a tall tower, 403 meters (1,322 ft) in height above average terrain (HAAT).

Programming

The station plays mostly familiar alternative rock tracks recorded between the 1970s and 2010s, ranging from David Bowie to Of Montreal. It also features specialty shows such as "Passport Approved," which focuses on international rock music.[3] On Sundays, an experimental program known as "The Bottom Forty" is heard, an alternative to conventional Top 40 Countdown shows.[4] There is also "Greasy Kid Stuff," a Saturday morning program specializing in music for youngsters.[5]

History

On November 1, 1992, KMUZ-FM signed on the air.[6] It was owned by Pacific Northwest Broadcasting, the FM counterpart to AM 1230 KMUZ (now KRYN). It was powered at 3,200 watts on a 223-foot tower, so it only could be heard over a limited area. The station aired a soft adult contemporary music format.

On March 6, 1995, KMUZ-FM switched to modern rock as KNRK. It was re-branded as "94-7 NRK". The station's playlist was made up of alternative rock music by bands such as The Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam and Nirvana. Radio personalities Stephanie Steele and Mike Chase hosted a morning show dubbed "S & M."[7] A DJ who only goes by his middle name, Gustav, hosted weekday afternoons. Gradually the station's format began to shift towards harder rock music in the late 1990s. The conventional DJs like Gustav and Daria O'Neill were gradually replaced by "shock-jocks." Music from bands like Limp Bizkit, Korn, Puddle of Mudd and Godsmack made up much of the playlist.

The station's harder edge came to an end on May 12, 2004. Two morning DJs played audio recordings of Nick Berg's violent death on the air and added their own snide commentary.[8] Hundreds of angry phone-calls and e-mails flooded into the station. KNRK's General Manager fired both of them, along with their producer.[9]

Following the incident, KNRK temporarily pulled all of its DJs off the air and played only music and commercials, in addition to the nationally syndicated talk show Loveline in the evenings. Brief messages by station program director Mark Hamilton explained the changes and plans to reshape the station. Listeners were encouraged to submit their ideas via an online survey or to call in with their own suggestions.[10] Soon thereafter, KNRK became "94/7 FM." A staff of personalities returned and the station's music, while still alternative, leaned a bit more pop.

HD Radio

KNRK broadcasts in the HD Radio format. The HD2 subchannel carries "94/7 Too," playing rock music.

In 2007, KNRK introduced "94/7 Too," an online station focusing entirely on bands based or initially established in the Pacific Northwest. It was added to over-the-air radio on 910 AM in July 2010.[11] That station flipped format to sports talk in 2013, with 94/7 Too moving to 94.7FM's HD2 signal and streaming online.[12] New personalities were added in 2015 (Derric in the evenings) and 2016 (Middays with Pepper).
