On May 11, KSKQ hosted the first meeting of Oregon Community Media, a new organization created by community radio stations from across Oregon. Those in attendance included representatives of KBOO in Portland, KPOV in Bend, KSHD in Shady Cove, KSOW in Cottage Grove, KWSO at the Warm Springs Reservation and KMUZ in Salem.

Discussions ranged far and wide, and we explored opportunities for collaboration, especially when it comes to state-wide news reporting and the sharing of programming.

We decided on two pilot projects. KBOO will make available its live stream of the Portland Blues Fest over the 4th of July weekend. Later on, all stations will provide a short news piece about the farmers markets in their area which will then be assembled into a half-hour news segment by KBOO, to be broadcast in early August. A great beginning to what promises to be a wonderful collaboration.
