KMED (1440 AM) was a radio station licensed to Medford, Oregon, United States, and serving the Medford-Ashland area.

[3] However, the station's founder, William J. Virgin, had been involved in radio dating back to at least the fall of 1921, when he and three others constructed a five-watt transmitter in Elmer Morrison's garage in Ashland.

[4] Beginning in May 1922, a series of announcements appeared stating that Virgin was planning to establish a broadcasting station at the family mill in Central Point.

FCC records, inherited from the Department of Commerce, regulators of radio at the time, considered the two to be distinct stations.

[17] Later, a 1994 detailed review of the history of Oregon radio by Ronald Kramer concluded that KFAY and KMED should be considered two different stations,[18] and in 2012, KMED Program Director Bill Meyer was quoted as saying that since the late 1990s, the radio station had stopped claiming that it was the oldest in Oregon.

[22] In early December, Virgin sold his radio shop to H. C. Witham, in order to "devote his entire time to the new Virgin-Mail-Tribune broadcasting station which will start operation this month".

[29] In December 2022, the station owners announced that KMED would cease broadcasting on January 8, 2023, and move its news/talk programming to 106.3 KYVL in Eagle Point.
