After rescuing and rebuilding the station where she started her career in 1974 while in junior high school, Delilah Rene has surrendered the license of 1030 KDUN Reedsport OR telling the FCC that “after more than three years of operation, I’m not able to continue operating the radio station and provide the financial means to do so”.
Delilah purchased KDUN from Post Rock Communications for $60,000 in May 2021. At the time she noted that Reedsport had no newspaper, television or other radio station and hoped to “engage the entire town in the station, offering local programming and news, complete with local hosts.” She would relaunch the station in September 2021 documenting the rebuild of the station to operate in what was once her fifth grade classroom. The station had been featuring a local morning show hosted by station manager Bob Larson and Delilah’s program in evenings.
