Arts groups: use .wav files for your Arts Line submissions

As an arts presenter, do you know that KWAX offers free public service announcements of your upcoming events? It's called Arts Line, and these :30 second announcements air throughout the day. We're upgrading our call-in option, but gladly welcome .wav files that you record and send to the station. Find out how to submit an Arts Line message

Glide area off the air

The KWAX translator for Glide, Oregon, operating at 105.3 FM is currently off air while we repair transmission lines and make adjustments to minimize interference from a new station in the area. We apologize for the inconvenience. Listeners in the Glide area can try to receive other KWAX stations or listen via our streaming service
