In addition to its broadcast signal at 89.1, KMHD also simulcasts locally on an HD channel and through streaming audio on the station's website.

[citation needed] The station has been providing the Portland, Oregon community with jazz and blues since 1984 using volunteer announcers - many of them prominent local musicians or broadcasters - almost entirely since its inception.

Hood Community College District Board of Education agreed to transfer the station's programming, operational and fundraising responsibilities to Oregon Public Broadcasting.

The transfer was approved by the Board of Education in mid-May and took effect on August 10, 2009, at 2:00 p.m.[7] Although the station's programming originates from OPB's Portland studios, the station continues to use its original call letters and broadcast frequency and continues to be owned by Mt.

KMHD-HD2 (branded as "KMHD2") aired a college radio format, including blocks of hip hop, rock, metal, world, and indie music.
