SHERWOOD, OR -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/30/07 -- Ehrlich Written Communications, a copywriting and PR firm, announced today that it has been named the public relations agency of record for All Classical 89.9 KBPS Portland, a non-profit 24-hour classical music station serving metro Portland and Hood River.

Ehrlich Written Communications will create PR vehicles for KBPS and administer a comprehensive regional, national and online media relations campaign to increase the station's visibility in metro Portland, the radio industry and among a global audience of online radio listeners, according to Sarah Shelley, KBPS' executive director.

"We know they listen to us in their office, and Chris Ehrlich played the violin for years, so we felt from the beginning that they had a real appreciation of our mission," Shelley said.

Shelley added that Ehrlich Written Communications will help KBPS promote its new classical station in Lincoln City, Ore. KBPS expects the coastal station to go live some time this fall.

"We have a very personal interest in spreading the word about 89.9," said Chris Ehrlich, the firm's principal. "We believe whole-heartedly in the calming power and beauty of classical music and see 89.9 as a true regional treasure."
