Seattle to get a new FM radio station (finally!)

[radioplayer]

Just caught this PR from NW Broadcasters: http://members.shaw.ca/nwbroadcasters/recentnews.htm


KMIH will be going from 104.5 to 88.9 fm this weekend to accommodate KMCQ's move up from The Dalles, Or.

IN a nutshell, this is FINALLY happening! I swear I thought I heard some testing going on at 104.5 fm the other day.....

Can we say... BONNEVILLE anyone?

If it was Bonneville going oldies on 104.5, then they certainly would have kept the call letters, KBSG. Those calls have been transferred to an Aberdeen station.

More likely, this is a complete ruse. They'll get on the air in a skin and bones operation (with a studio closet in Covington), and then sell the station to another party, in my opinion.

I personally think Bonneville is NOT going to buy KMCQ and here is why: KAFE and 25,000 watts for 104.5. These people are smarter than they appear (I hope), Bustos or even Salem on the other hand......
