During the time we’ve had PDX.FM up and running, all of our shows have been lumped together on one channel. Sports, parenting, reading, smooth jazz music and a lot more. It became apparent to us rather quickly that we needed to have a different home for the more “mild mannered” shows. Thus, PDX.FM Channel 2 was born. Think of it as the more “family” content channel, the place where you might actually learn something, the place that is free of explicit language and content warnings.

Channel 2 launched Monday January 4, 2010 with a new show called The Life Portlandic hosted by Doug Zanger. As he describes it, The Life Portlandic is “an appreciation of Portland, about sharing stories of hops, thanks and optimism…..a daily love letter to the place that we call home”. The show is live every weekday morning at 9AM.

Of course, you will still be seeing some familiar shows on Channel 2 as well. Starting at 11AM every weekday morning, get your daily dose of parenting  from Parenting Unplugged Radio. Todd and Laura bring you a series of parenting shows focusing on connecting, educating and supporting parents in their communities in authentic conversation around family and parenting.

We will also continue to bring you shows like Open Book with Diana Page Jordan, Online Recovery Support Radio and the music of Cool Front.

We encourage you to check back often with PDX.FM Channel 2 as the schedule of shows will be growing rapidly. After all, this is Portland, Oregon – one of the most creative places on the planet.
