KRYP (93.1 MHz) is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Gladstone, Oregon, and serving the Portland metropolitan area.
It is owned by the Salem Media Group and airs a Spanish language Regional Mexican format, a mix of genres including Banda, Ranchera, Mariachi, and Norteño music.
[3] Its original call sign was KAST-FM and it broadcast on 92.9 MHz in Astoria, Oregon, about 90 miles (145 km) northwest of Portland.
KTRO came into existence through a complicated deal that involved five owners of radio stations in Oregon and featured both signal downgrades and frequency migrations.
To make room on the Portland dial, KPDQ-FM, also owned by Salem, moved from 93.7 to 93.9 and downgraded its broadcast station class from C to C1.
New Northwest's own 94.3 licensed to Long Beach, Washington, picked up the KAST-FM call sign and format, moving from the original 92.9 to 99.7 FM.
[5] Most of the programming was provided by the Salem Radio Network, a conservative talk service featuring hosts such as Dennis Prager, Hugh Hewitt and Mike Gallagher.
