Ownership

On November 28, 2007 it was reported that Oregon Public Broadcasting reached an agreement to purchase KOPT from Churchill Media for $500,000. On February 20, 2008, the station switched from Air America Radio to OPB programming.

Although KOAC in Corvallis easily covers much of Eugene, some areas in the southern part of the city doesn't get a strong signal. KOPB serves to fill in those areas.
