The transmitter is located in Portland's west hills, while studios are in Tigard, Oregon. The station's format is Adult Contemporary music. KKCW airs Christmas music from mid-November through Christmas Day.

History

In 1984, KKCW intended to sign on with a country music format. The C and W in the call letters stood for country and western, but music station KUPL beat them to the punch.[1] Although KKCW has been programming adult contemporary since its inception, it has adapted to the changing tastes among its listeners by moving away from the softer product to a fresher musical library (given the competition it has from Adult Top 40 rivals KRSK and KBFF).

KKCW-HD2

KKCW-HD2 is programming a smooth jazz format that resembles former sister station KIJZ that used to broadcast on 105.9 FM until August 2007. Their motto is, "KKCW-for easy listening through tough times."

KKCW-HD3

KKCW-HD3 is programming EMF's Air 1 Christian rock format and is relayed on FM translator K224DL 92.7 FM.
