It takes a dedicated crew to run this “communications ship”. We’re proud of what we do and hope you’ll join us!

Dj Nails
DJ Host “Sugar-Free Radio”
Dj Nails is a Corvallis-based DJ in search of interesting and strange music, both terrestrial and cosmic. Tune into their KORC show Sugar-free Radio and relax as they step through discs of drums ‘n dub, house, boogie, jazz, ambience, and everything in between. All moods, all styles, and free in soul & spirit. New episodes air Friday at 9pm with encore airings Monday at 9pm and Tuesday at Midnight.
Augie West
DJ / EDU Media Production
Augie is a retired teacher and in his youth worked for a record distributor and a guitar and drum company. He is a long time music fan and has attended hundreds of concerts. Augie hopes to use that experience to share music with you. Radio has always been his friend- from the top 40 AM stations of the late 50s and early 60s to the beginnings of freeform FM radio. This was the place to learn the new songs, groups, and singers of the day and to groove to the favorites he already knew. Augie’s mission is to turn you on to great music like the freeform FM DJs of the early 70s turned him onto great music.
Jessica Norick
DJ Host – “Jess The Collector”
Corvallis local DJ Jessica “Jess” Norick shares music from her vast collection. Vintage Country & Western, Polkas & Waltzes, Bluegrass, Folk, and more. Music that is no longer represented by mainstream media. An Oregon native, Jess Norick has been passionate about vintage North Americana music since early childhood. She began collecting records at only three years of age.
James “Old Man” Winther
DJ Host – “Return From Chaos”
Corvallis local DJ James Winther brings Death Metal and “weird other music” to KORC with, “Return From Chaos.”
Old Man Winther had been a dumb metalhead since trading a bag of Triscuits for a copy of Kill ’em All back in the mid 90s. He is delighted to host “Return from Chaos” on K-Orc 105.9 so as to make you listen to his favorite death and black metal songs with a smattering of jazz, industrial , goth rock, odd classical, nordic folk, along with a side dish of shameless self-spotlighting of his own past/current bands and the sporadic Nintendo song, Beatles remix, or paranormal call-in guest.
