"Hey! How do I get better reception?"

David Levin, KVMR's General ManagerWe share the frustration of any listener who may be challenged receiving KVMR 89.5 FM. Let me first point out that the reasons may be different for different listeners-some may be an easy fix and the others may not. Some may be challenged by geography, while some may be affected by a nearby radio station on or next to the same frequency as ours.

Here are some suggestions for improving your reception of KVMR. Keep in mind that the following are general suggestions and that every situation is unique. Start with the simple and work your way up. Click here for the full article . . .

We encourage listners to offer their own ideas and suggestions to help others get better KVMR reception; email your ideas to David Levin, our General Manager, at; gm @ kvmr.org
