OPB Radio Frequency to Change in Manzanita Area

Oregon Public Broadcasting Radio has received permission from the FCC to change channels of its translator in Manzanita to 106.1 FM.

Oregon Public Broadcasting Radio has received permission from the FCC to change channels of its translator in Manzanita to 106.1 FM. This should improve OPB Radio coverage in Manzanita, Nehalem, Wheeler, Nedonna and Manhattan Beach, as well as mobile coverage on Highway 101. The change is scheduled to take place the week of May 2, at which time listeners should tune to 106.1 FM on their radio to receive the OPB Radio signal.

Last year, there was an issue in Manzanita and the surrounding area with interference by OPB's 105.7 FM radio translator on Neahkahnie to an adjacent frequency radio station in Garibaldi. OPB Radio was off the air for a period of time until the radio antenna was modified to reduce the problem. This new frequency will eliminate that problem and allow for improved coverage.
