In 2012, Cascade Educational Broadcast System formed a board of directors and entered into a Local Management Agreement with Common Frequency, LLC, who had received the station from Reed College that year, to broadcast on KRRC. The original intention was to found an all-music station that focused on local DJs. On March 11, 2013, the station changed its call sign to KXRY. In 2013, progressive talk was added to the programming lineup with several of the former hosts of KPOJ including Carl Wolfson, Adam Klugman, and Thom Hartmann.[1]
KXRY launched a crowdfunding campaign on the website Kickstarter on December 16, 2013, with the goal of raising $40,000 to fund the launch of the station. The campaign saw unexpected success and reached over $100,000 during its month-long funding period.[2]
On March 15, 2014, KXRY began broadcasting a full schedule[3] of programming under the name XRAY.fm. KXRY broadcasts talk and music. The station's music programming is hosted by over 70 Portland disc jockeys, most of whom are live in the studio during their show. KXRY started broadcasts from a studio on SE 8th and Main Street in Portland, Oregon, and then built and moved into a new studio on N Killingsworth and N Albina.
Effective June 7, 2018, Common Frequency sold KXRY's license assets to Cascade Educational Broadcast Service for $16,000.
