The station also airs locally through a rebroadcaster at 100.7 MHz. While internationally, its listeners can enjoy it from its web portal. The services of the station are described by the slogan “Community Radio” because of its Community Broadcasting format. The English language broadcaster can be accessed at any time of the day to get updates about the community events, listen to the news, local and international stories, and enjoy various entertainment shows.
The journey of the station was started in October of 2007 when Salem Folklore Community requested for a new broadcaster. These assets of the approved radio were purchased by Willamette Information, News, and Entertainment Service; the current owner of the channel, for $1 and the first broadcast of the station was aired in 2011. The operations of the broadcaster were paused by Federal Communications Commission on 5th September 2011 and then resumed back at normal on 17th December of the same year. A few years later, the channel launched its rebroadcaster on 24th January 2015.
Currently, KMUZ 88.5 is operating as an A-class operator of the market. The 32 watts transmitter of the radio serves its listeners 24/7. The channel can also be found on popular social media platforms.
