Impact Radio makes format changes faster than Mike Jorgenson ever dreamed of. Good luck at 99.1, Jack and Brian. Sandy and I just spent a week in Seattle. No more oldies format there. KBSG has morphed into light classic pop rock as B97.3. The once mighty KJR is playing automated rock’s greatest hits.
So basically all i listened to for the last year was 99.1 The Man. Yes, it was a pretty weak lineup, but when my other options as a 27 year old are Easy Listening, Classic Rock, Crappy Rap, or 100.3 which plays the same Tool song every 20 minutes, it was nice to actually listen to something different.
The rumor for KBSG in Seattle is that it will eventually morph into a sports talk station to compete with KJR-AM. That is still only rumor. Bonneville, which now owns KIRO and KBSG has developed a trend of simulcasting (KXL AM/FM Salt Lake).
KJR-FM has become an automated also-ran with no morning hosts and a weak daily lineup.

Dropping THE MAN is a big mistake. There is far more need for that kind of talk programming then for another spanish station.

I think it’s just because the Man had an absolutely weak lineup. Most of what they had was a yawner.
Robin, KBSG is facing an even worse death. It was announced Wednesday that the station will become “KIRO FM” on August 12 at 5 am.
Despite the tact and professionalism of all KBSG staffers, they were shuffled out the door and not allowed any sort of sign off.

I am totally disappointed.
There’s all these people crying for 99.1 bailing on this format – yet no one seemed to care enough to write it down in a diary where it counted.
