KNRQ is a commercial alternative rock music radio station in Harrisburg, Oregon, broadcasting to the Eugene–Springfield, Oregon area on 103.7 FM. It has a sister station WFTK, in Cincinnati.
The station signed on in April, 1974 as KOMS. On September 27, 1978 the call sign was changed to KIQY. The station was then assigned the call sign KXPC-FM by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on November 16, 1993.
Until May 20, 2009, KXPC-FM (then licensed to Lebanon, Oregon) broadcast a country music format branded as "Pure Country 103.7". On May 20, 2009, the station fell silent for technical and financial reasons. The FCC granted the station temporary authority to remain silent on November 20, 2009, with a scheduled expiration of May 20, 2010. If the station did not resume broadcasting by the date, its broadcast license would be subject to automatic forfeiture as it would have been off the air continuously for a full year. The Educational Media Foundation announced that the station would be operated as a "satellite" of KLVR in Middletown, California, as part of the K-LOVE radio network.
On October 7, 2009, Portland Broadcasting LLC reached an agreement to transfer the broadcast license for KXPC-FM to the Educational Media Foundation for a total price of $1,250,000. The deal gained FCC approval on November 24, 2009, and the transaction was completed on December 18, 2009.
