KBRD (680 kHz) is a non-commercial radio station broadcasting a nostalgia radio format. It is licensed to Lacey, Washington, and serves the Olympia area. It is owned by the BJ & Skip's for the Music foundation, a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, so donations are tax deductible. KBRD is dedicated to the preservation of the music of the first half of the 20th century.
KBRD is a daytimer station, powered at 250 watts.[2] Because 680 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A KNBR San Francisco, to avoid interference, KBRD can only broadcast from sunrise to sunset.[3] But it is heard around the clock on 250-watt FM translator K266BM at 101.1 MHz in Olympia.[4]
