Ashland community radio station expands reach Tuesday Dec 27, 2016 at 3:33 PM Dec 27, 2016 at 3:33 PM Local Report Ashland-based community radio station KSKQ is now broadcasting on its new translator at 94.1 as well as 89.5 on the FM dial, extending its reach through much of the Rogue Valley. With the new translator, listeners will have an easier time tuning in to KSKQ in Medford, Central Point and communities north.  KSKQ's studio is at 330 E. Hersey St., in Ashland. The station broadcasts from an antenna northeast of Ashland on Table Mountain. The new translator increases the reach by transmitting from a tower on Roxy Ann Peak.  “We really need to thank Michael Brown of Brown Broadcast Services for getting this translator off the ground,” says KSKQ Station Manager Jason Houk.  A project of the Multicultural Association of Southern Oregon, KSKQ is a volunteer-powered station with a mission to empower the residents of the Rogue Valley, celebrate cultural diversity and build sustainable and resilient communities through the exchange of ideas. With more than 60 local, volunteer producers, KSKQ offers an eclectic lineup of local and syndicated programming, broadcasting over the FM airwaves and streaming live at www.kskq.org.  “Check out our schedule, there is going to be something you will like,” says Houk. “We are volunteer-powered, so if something is missing, then it probably is you.”
