Thanks.

50 years without a major format change is quite an achievement. Congrats! It should be noted that KISW as a radio station just passed its 71st year this January.

In my mind there are only a handful of iconic and/or historical radio stations in Seattle. On the AM side, from most important today, KOMO, KIRO, KVI, from the FM side, KISW, KING, KZOK, KUOW, KIRO FM with honorable mention to KPLZ, KSWD and perhaps KUBE, but the latter seems a bit lost here in 2021 with less than impressive numbers recently.

KJR is still active, and still has some ratings. And they're one of the oldest stations in the metro, and have a famous history as well. I would consider them iconic as well.

You are right. Probably should have included ‘JR for their history if nothing else.

Correction: KJR is the oldest.

Good memories of KISW they got me thru my late 70's teen years. Slaton, Crowe and West, Langan, Hovanes, Mr Bruce's Neighborhood, Beau Phillips overnight, great radio! Also a fan of KZOK, KJR FM.
