All Classical Radio is on a roll. Actually, it’s more of a grand crescendo. The station at 89.9 FM, formerly known as All Classical Portland, is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a new name, a new logo, and a massive move of its offices and broadcasting services to downtown Portland.

To top that off, All Classical Radio now has bragging rights as the number one classical music station in the nation. Talk about keeping Portland weird!

“We’ve received our ratings from Nielsen, and they said it is not even close,” said All Classical’s President and CEO Suzanne Nance. “We’ve been pulling a 6.5 market share, and the closest competitor is 3.0.”

Those numbers are supported by an increasing membership for the non-profit station, which now boasts over 12,000 members and a local audience of over 250,000 listeners in Oregon and Southwest Washington.
