Ok, I see 100.7 went to a news format in '92 and straight ahead news/talk in '94. Hope I'm correct. When did they start calling themselves "The Buzz"?

When did 100.7 go talk?
- Thread starter ksradiogeek
- Start date
Was the "Out of the Box" (where they had the triangle logo that represented AM-FM-TV) before the "Mix 101" or after the music?
When they dropped "out of the box" they also dropped one leg of the triangle so they would retain the "7" as a logo.

"Out of The Box" was launched in January of 1993. KIRO-FM went news in August 1992.
Another reason they dropped the third leg of the triangle (not sure if it was official, but one could only guess) was the triangle looked way too similar to the logo of the Seattle Gay News newspaper and The Stranger (another Seattle alternative weekly) was making fun of it. Add to the fact that anchors on the TV side were actually choreographed by no less than the Seattle Ballet on how to walk around this newfangled set whilst on camera. It got to be too much for some anchors and a few quit.
The original concept, as I was told were the radio people were supposed to be as involved on camera as the TV folks. But they flat out weren't having ANY of this nonsense and they told management so.
It's still the most overblown experiment in Seattle TV news.....
Got it. Besides Pat Cashman, who else hosted a show on The Buzz? And was it actually considered "Hot Talk" in 1995?Mac Daddy said:

After Out of the Box, Channel 22 ran the KIRO-AM morning news on their station, mostly just showing the announcer at his mic. For traffic reports they would switch to DOT cameras, and Channel 22 (whatever they were called then) ran TV commercials in place of the radio commercials. I think the same staff was working there and on camera that would have objected to being on camera before.
They were also running KIRO-TV's late news at 10:00 for them, so this was before KIRO Radio and TV split, and before Channel 22 and KCPQ were under common ownership.
Didn't "Kennedy" (MTV V-Jay) also do a talk show on there in the early days?
Of course, Robin/Maynard did a stint near the end, Tom Leykis, etc.

Yes, Kennedy did a show on The Buzz. She was wonderful. I absolutely loved her show.
