In addition to the "brand" stuff BW discussed (above), it's also demonstration of "corporate think" of "who cares how many of THAT format is in the market....WE don't have one there yet". So eventually, each owner has to have a country, a news, a CHR, some kind of rock, and some kind of AC to cover the sales force --- ooops, sales forces on the decline too --- make that to cover the "national sales effort to sell a market to an agency".

I cant believe I am saying this.. but I think KIXI 880 is currently the most interesting radio station in the Seattle area right now..
SHHHHHH!!!!
You must NEVER say a station is "interesting" where they can hear you.
Why do you say that??

Because if it's interesting, there's something wrong with it. So it has to be fixed to be as bland and homogenized as possible
Ahhh okay I get you
What i meant by that... KQMV, KJR, and KKWF are "interesting" radio stations. When I listen to them I become so enthralled I cannot seem to breath out of excitement.

I haven't heard him play "Rump Shaker" yet. So it looks grim.

Another sad day in Seattle radio. Lowering my radio antenna to half mast. Another reason to leave FM radio and go Iheart and Pandora I guess.
Where else does one listen now to find Dave Mathews Band, Ray LaMontagne, Jack Johnson, Mumford & Sons...maybe some Train anymore?
98.9 seems like they've changed their play list a tiny bit. Have heard a few songs from these people (key word...few).

KQMV with 120 songs, KJR with about 200 songs, KKWF with about 200 songs - oh yay!

You're right about Movin, but wrong about KJR (450) and The Wolf (325). But hey, don't let facts get in the way.
And can someone remind me again which CHR is the market leader right now?

KINK is one AAA station that's unlikely to go anywhere but under brute force. And uphill. In an avalanche. It's a Portland institution. Nobody even THINKS of a format change on 101.9. And Chris Mays is still PD at KINK. If you like the old KMTT, KINK is way better than this HD2 crap on 103.7.
It depends where you are. It comes in fine in Tacoma up to Federal Way. Hills are best. South facing windows of Seattle high-rises are also excellent.
In the lowlands, it's hit or miss. The farthest north I've ever heard them was on Decatur Island. The signal was also super prone to aircraft scatter up there, mixing interference from CFUV and sometimes CITR.

Very nice. Thank you. Been listening since you posted it. Great mix and selections of that mix.
Just gotta figure out how to get the signal north of Seattle a few miles so I can listen in the car on the way home (don't have a new enough radio to broadcast the link thru the phone...yet).
