KMHD Jazz Radio is operated by OPB. Through this relationship, it receives federal funding – funding that has enabled KMHD to grow its public service mission and to preserve the sound of jazz on the radio for Portland, the Pacific Northwest and the world at large.
On July 24, President Donald Trump signed a bill canceling about $9 billion that had been approved for public broadcasting.
This is a devastating blow to the entire public media system and communities that rely on the critical service it provides. Millions of people across the country depend on public media every day as an invaluable source of information, education, culture and connection.
In this challenging moment, OPB and KMHD will not back down. Together with you, we will step forward with courage and confidence in our mission, values and community.
