History
Radio Free Palmer, named after Radio Free Europe, was formed in April 2005 to seek a permit to build a community radio station to serve the Palmer area.[5] In the meantime, it offered podcasts and organized events to gauge community interest, including a talent show;[6] it also provided archived audio of school board meetings and internet access to downtown Palmer.[1] By 2008, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) had granted a construction permit for the station; though backers hoped to be on the air in 2009 or 2010,[5] KVRF began broadcasting on August 23, 2011, using a transmitter gifted by KTNA in Talkeetna. Licensed to Sutton, it was inaudible in Palmer until KSKA donated its translator on Lazy Mountain to extend the service later that year.[7]
