Joining 98.9 FM every Saturday from 10am-3pm, Marty Reimer, formerly with The Mountain 103.7 FM (KMTT), KXRX, KJR, KZOK, KCMU & KGRG. The AAA format at KPNW is very similar to that of the now defunct “Mountain 104” which did not have the advertiser support needed to sustain it.

I was a huge fan of The Mountain through about 2009 but the music mix started changing and became stale toward the end as it became more and more narrow. I find KPNW to have some similarities in approach but a vastly better music mix–essentially a cross between the best of The End and The Mountain in their heydays. As long as they keep it up, they’ll keep me listening.
Will he be broadcasting live from his house in Berlin?
From Reimer’s website– “Welcome to my site where I’ve collected just a small sample of my work and experiences from the past 30 years as a broadcaster, podcaster, voice over artist and live event host. Most of my career has been spent in Seattle, but I now bounce between Seattle and Berlin. While there may be a lot of looking back in these pages, I also look forward to embarking on my next professional adventure, perhaps with you?”
