Boardman Residents Tune In: Local News and Talk Finds a Home on the Dial

For those navigating the long stretches of road between Boardman and the Tri-Cities, or simply wanting a deeper connection to regional happenings, a trusted voice has been broadcasting for decades. While Salem-based, KSLM Radio serves as a vital information artery for communities across the Willamette Valley and into the Columbia Basin, offering a mix of local news, talk, and community-focused programming.

Residents in Boardman and Morrow County can catch KSLM’s signal on 1220 AM, a frequency known for its impressive reach, especially at night. For clearer daytime listening, the station also broadcasts on 104.3 FM. This dual-band approach ensures that whether you’re working at the Port of Morrow, farming outside of town, or at home in the evening, local Oregon news and conversation are accessible.

The station’s format emphasizes talk radio and local journalism, providing an alternative to national syndicated shows. This means discussions often center on Oregon politics, state legislation in Salem, agricultural issues critical to our region’s economy, and events impacting the broader Mid-Columbia area. It’s a resource for Boardman listeners to stay informed on matters that, while originating in the state capital, directly affect life here in Eastern Oregon.

In an era of digital overload, local AM/FM radio remains a cornerstone of community identity. For Boardman, tuning into KSLM offers a direct line to the pulse of Oregon, bridging the gap between our rural community and the broader decisions shaping our state’s future.
