Entercom brings LGBTQ "Channel Q" To Seattle

[iamarussianpirate]

Have to give Entercom credit, heard a "live-read" cross promo on 107.7 for Channel Q last night. Said "Entercom was proud to bring Channel Q to 107.7 HD2, 103.3 in Downtown Seattle, and on the radio.com app." Also positioning the cross promotion on the 107.7 web page, as "Seattle's Only Dedicated LGBTQ+ Radio Station" which while a little awkward at least gets the point across.

I hope they start running promos on 100.7. Now that would be entertaining.

The signal is much better than I thought it would be, and much better than it had been in the past. From about halfway across the ship canal it comes in okay even in obstructed areas. Only occasionally is it overtaken by a mariachi music. The signal is tolerable when they are doing their long-form talk segments, but the processing sounds like garbage when they go into music.

More than anything I'm surprised it took them this long to simulcast one of their HD channels on that translator. It always seemed like a waste to just have khtp on the signal.

Agreed. That translator dates back nearly 20 years to the Mountain when TPTB wanted to get a better signal into downtown.

I agree as well, I've been saying that needs to happen since we started seeing the HD to translator movement appear a few years ago.

I thought this was KIXI-FM 95.7's translator before The Mountain took it over.

And now iHeart’s getting in on the action with Pride on KUBE’s HD2.
