KWAX Classical Oregon
KWAX Quacks Classical Worldwide

KWAX Classical Oregon, 91.1 FM, has been an essential part of UO life since its founding as a 10-watt student station in 1951. Now 20,000-watts and streaming worldwide, it airs the best in classical music 24/7 with live-hosted programs from 8 am- 5 pm weekdays. 

A public radio station, KWAX is almost entirely listener supported. Gifts help to: 

  • Present knowledgeable, discerning announcers who draw from a library of more than 50,000 recordings 
  • Offer inspiration, solace, and joy through the tradition of classical music
  • Help promote accomplishments and performances of UO musicians and artists
  • Provide a vital link for emergency broadcast alerts across the state
  • Reach a weekly audience of 23,000 in the Eugene area, and many thousands more worldwide

Gifts are critical to the continued excellence of KWAX! All Ducks can take pride in this treasured gem that brings joy to so many and renown to the university. 

Generous donors have stepped up to challenge KWAX listeners to support the station. Today, your gift can help unlock $2,500 in additional funds.
