Syndicated radio host Delilah has officially returned the license for 1030 KDUN in Reedsport, OR, to the FCC, ending a personal and professional chapter that dates back to the start of her radio career. Delilah purchased the station in 2021 for $60,000, reviving the signal where she first took to the airwaves in 1974 as a junior high school student.

In a heartfelt message shared on Facebook, she wrote, "It's been my privilege to bless this community with the great music and companionship on KDUN AM 1030 for the better part of past four years. Thank you for giving this radio station your attention and support. Reedsport is in my heart."

She continued, "Sadly, we can no longer continue to provide service and have returned the radio station license to the FCC for another broadcaster to provide service in the future."

Delilah credited station manager Bob Larson and engineer Ryan Warrey for their commitment to keeping KDUN on the air, adding, "There is not enough business to sustain a commercial radio station."

Though the airwaves will go silent for now, Delilah assured fans that her ties to Reedsport remain strong. "I look forward to many more visits to Reedsport, more high school reunions and more special moments with friends in the area. Until we meet again on the radio, God bless."
