but intended to step down. XRAY.FM had an affiliation with the fledgling Vancouver, Washington station KXRW-LP and a role in the founding of KNUM-LP, also known as "The Numberz," a low-power FM station dedicated to Black music. Effective June 7, 2018, Common Frequency sold KXRY's license assets to Cascade Educational Broadcast Service (D/B/A XRAY.FM) for $16,000. Early in the 2020 COVID-19 outbreak, XRAY.FM was noted as one of the few hubs of local music culture in Portland. In late 2020, several XRAY.FM staffers went public with allegations of unprofessional behavior of the executive director, Jefferson Smith. On March 5, 2022, XRAY’s Board of Directors confirmed that they had severed ties with Smith. As of July 2021, the station has pivoted to cooperative management from a single executive model, with a group of 4 staff members leading as a collective as part of several changes approved by XRAY's Board of Directors.
