KCMX (880 kHz) is an AM radio station broadcasting a news/talk format. Licensed to Phoenix, Oregon, United States, the station serves the Medford-Ashland area. The station is currently owned by Stephens Media Group, through licensee SMG-Medford, LLC. History The station was issued an initial Construction Permit on October 12, 1960 as KMFR, for 1,000 watts daytime-only on 860 kHz. On October 2, 1961 the call letters were changed to KSHA, which was followed by additional call letter changes to KISD on July 21, 1980, back to KMFR on May 3, 1984, and to KTMT in 1992. In 1984 the station moved to 880 kHz. Expanded band assignment On March 17, 1997 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that eighty-eight stations had been given permission to move to newly available "Expanded Band" transmitting frequencies, ranging from 1610 to 1700 kHz, with KTMT authorized to move from 880 to 1650 kHz. However, the station never procured the Construction Permit needed to implement the authorization, so the expanded band station was never built. Later history The station call letters were changed to KCMX on January 1, 1999. Local programming KCMX simulcasts KDOV The Dove's morning programs, Mornings On TheDove and Focus Today with Perry Atkinson from 6am to 9am before the Glenn Beck program.
