KEX (1190 AM, "NewsRadio 1190 KEX") is a class A clear channel AM radio station broadcasting from Portland, Oregon. As of 2005 it is owned by Clear Channel Communications and runs news/talk programming. Because KEX is a Class A station, KEX reaches most of Oregon (except Medford and other areas). At night, KEX reaches all of the Northwest and some parts of Northern California.

KEX is one of America's older radio stations, licensed on December 23, 1926. Some sources show it may have originally started broadcasting on 670 kHz. On November 11, 1928, KEX started broadcasting on 1180 kHz under the terms of FCC General Order 40, then over a decade later, on March 29, 1941, the station moved from 1180 kHz to 1190 kHz under the terms of NARBA. KEX is an active member of the Portland Area Radio Council. [1]

KEX is currently broadcasting in HD Radio.
