K275CH (102.9 MHz) is an American commercial FM radio station translator licensed to Gresham, Oregon, and broadcasting to the Portland metropolitan area. The station, billed as "WE 102.9," airs a rhythmic contemporary radio format, owned and operated by Alpha Media, which owns six full-strength radio stations in the Portland market.
K275CH's studios and offices are in the Alpha Media studios located in the PacWest Center on Southwest Fifth Avenue in Portland.[2] The transmitter is located off Southwest Fairmount Boulevard, amid other Portland-area FM and TV towers.[3] K275CH broadcasts at only 99 watts while many Portland-area FM stations operate at 100,000 watts. Because the tower is 198 meters (650 feet) height above average terrain, a bit less than the Empire State Building, the station's signal is limited over Portland and its nearby suburbs in Oregon and Washington.
