I personally listen to KMUN, and I volunteer there as well.
During this last storm, KMUN was THE station to listen to for accurate, not second hand storm information. I personally fielded calls coming in from nursing homes that were being broadcasted as being in dire need of help, when in fact they were never in trouble. This secondhand information clogged phone lines, and put those wanting to help on roads better not traveled.
KMUN has a practice of no hearsay broadcasting. So nice job to all stations able to be on the air during times like a week ago, and I suggest you give KMUN (91.5 fm) a try during our next storm.
I am a resident of Astoria, and a life resident of Oregon
Good job KMUN!
