KGRG (1330 AM) is a 500 watts day and 26 watts at night AM college radio station transmitting from Enumclaw, Washington, licensed to the Green River Foundation and operated by Green River Community College in Auburn, Washington. The station is called "KGRG1" and has a classic alternative format.
KGRG's nighttime signal reception is affected mainly by KKPZ/Portland, as well as CJYM/Rosetown, Saskatchewan in certain areas. This makes KGRG difficult to receive outside of the Enumclaw area; however, KGRG1 has been reported in California and Oregon. Staff members have stated that they've received emails from people claiming to hear the signal in Kansas, and even as far away as Finland and Norway.
Licensed April 28, 1982, KENU was a country music station at 1330 AM run by a series of local owners in Enumclaw, Washington including Robert Reverman. KENU was a community focused radio station that ran local programming hosted by local DJs as well as coverage of Enumclaw High School's football games.
In 1988, KENU changed call signs to KQZQ. KQZQ aired a Hard Rock radio format which only lasted for a total of 23 days, when KENU returned by popular demand.
In 1992, KENU became a simulcast of KJUN 1450 AM in Puyallup, WA and became a part of the new Country Gold Network along with KBLV 1540 AM in Bellevue, WA, and KTOL 1280 AM in Olympia, WA.
