Warm 107 came on the air, replacing early Puget Sound smooth jazz station KKNW, in August of 1992. The format musically has gotten steadily more upbeat since then. The slogan varied for a while, First it was Warm 107, then when competitor K-Lite left the air in 1994, it became 106.9 K-Warm. It dropped the K-Warm moniker and became Warm 106.9.

KXRX became Young Country in July of 1994. K-Lite became KJR-FM (Version 1.0) in April of 1994 after stunting as "The Northwest's New 95.7 FM".

Warm used to use the slogan "Soft Hits", which made me snicker like Beavis every time they said it on the air a little too fast.

When we signed the station on, Randy Lundquist did mornings.
Greg Cook did middays.
And I did afternoons.

And yes, we snickered a time or two as well.

I see from the ratings that KRWM is # 4 or 5 in the market. Their morning man, Tom McCarthy, used to work afternoons at WGY Schnectady/Albany NY when my dad did mornings there. In my opinion, Tom is one of the nicest guys in or out of radio! He also does quite a bit of voiceover work, so he is heard in many different markets. I believe he has also worked on KOMO and KJR-FM since he moved to Seattle.

Does anyone have the numbers as to how his morning show stacks up against the rest of the market in that daypart?
