KOPB 1600 AM is a radio station licensed to serve Eugene, Oregon. The station is owned by Oregon Public Broadcasting. It airs a news/talk format. KOPB airs public radio programming primarily from NPR.
The station was assigned the KOPB call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on February 20, 2008.
On November 28, 2007, it was reported that Oregon Public Broadcasting reached an agreement to purchase KOPT from Churchill Media for $500,000. On February 20, 2008, the station switched from Air America Radio to OPB programming.
Although KOAC in Corvallis easily covers much of Eugene, some areas in the southern part of the city do not get a strong signal. KOPB serves to fill in those areas.
