KVMR (89.5 FM) is a progressive, largely independent radio station founded in 1978 in Nevada City, California producing mainly live broadcasts. Arther Cohen was its first manager.
For the initial years, its one studio and office location were at the Miner's Foundry, then in 1996 it moved to larger leased premises nearby at 401 Spring Street. On 24 February 2015 the offices, production facilities, and infrastructure moved across the street to its new purpose-built facilities at 120 Bridge Street for which funds have been raised from an extensive and still ongoing capital campaign. Several new off-air production studios have been added to improve the artistic and technical quality of broadcasts. Increasing use is being made of the Internet for streaming and many shows are now both archived and podcast here: [1] and elsewhere to leverage social media and ongoing advances in technology. such as their Facebook group [2]
The building itself backs onto the historic Nevada Theatre with which the station now has a cooperative venture called The Bridge Street Project. The new modern building maintains the old gold mining feel of the historic district through the choice of materials and appearance preserving the atmosphere of the small-town mid 19th century gold rush community from which Nevada City, California grew.
Coverage: Analog and digital FM. See the right side panel. The station is the area's local Emergency Broadcast System. The signal covers the central parts of the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Northern California, as well as central areas of the Central Valley region around California's state capital, Sacramento.
