History
Early years
The Eads Broadcasting Corporation received the original construction permit for this station from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on December 27, 1994.[2] The new station was given the call sign KGAL by the FCC on January 23, 1995.[3] KGAL received its license to cover from the FCC on November 20, 1995.[4]
KGAL was one of two radio stations in 1997 broadcasting the games of the Portland Forest Dragons of the Arena Football League.[5] That team would ultimately leave Portland after the 1999 season.
A Moment in Oregon History
Throughout 2009, KGAL and sister station KSHO aired a series of one-minute historical vignettes as part of Oregon's sesquicentennial celebration.[6] The program, titled A Moment in Oregon History, highlights notable Oregon residents and key historical events.[6] Each of the 240 vignettes was written by author Rick Steber.[6]
Awards and honors
Eads Broadcasting owner Charlie Eads was the Broadcaster of the Year in Oregon and was honored as Volunteer of the Year at the 2009 Ovation Awards given out at the annual Northwest Festivals and Events Conference.[7] Eads was cited for his work with the Willamette Valley Concert Band, the Linn County Cultural Coalition, and several other community organizations.[7]
Programming
KGAL features nationally syndicated talk shows with local news updates and weekend sports.[8] KGAL carries Seattle Seahawks football along with Lebanon High School football and basketball games.[9]
