University of Washington Sports Moves to iHeartMedia Seattle
- Thread starter Y2kTheNewOldies
- Start date
This is a pretty big deal. I note traditional Seattle media hasn't even reported this yet.
KOMO, IFIRC, has been the Husky station for about three decades or more. Prior, KIRO had the rights, with the late Pete Gross calling their football games in the mid-70's. iheart probably sees this as a way to maintain some importance in a vanishing radio revenue world.
Fortunately, on the FM side, iheart's 96.5 has a better signal than KOMO's 97.7.
Actually, I beleive KJR carried Husky football for quite a few years during the aughts. It was not the best of times for the program, however, so easy to forget!
Yes you are correct as I remembered after my edit time expired! But I do recall Kiro back in the day.
