KTOY | KVAC (WA-1974) | KDFL (WA-1975) | KTTX (TX- 1976) | KWHI (TX-1976) | KONP (WA-1977) | KBAM (WA-1978) | KJUN (WA-1983) | KRPM (WA-1984) | KAMT (WA-1986) | KASY (WA-1988) | KBRD (WA-1989) | KTAC (WA-1990) | KMTT (WA-1991) | KOOL (AZ-1994)
And they are still branding with “Stay Connected, Stay Informed.” There is the absence of the KOMO call letters only as it pertains to the radio side. TOH call letter station ID per FCC guidelines. Heavy dependence on KOMO TV audio with credit, so there is mention of KOMO all-day.
I hear Rick Van Cise identifying the station with “Northwest News” in some segues today, a day before the official call letter switch. They will have to do more than that to give the station an identity, without KOMO as a crutch.
