I'm not trying to advertise it, but make fun of it. I really thought it was a skit. I looked into who owns it:
“Seattle Red is more than a name — it’s a mission,” said Bonneville Seattle SVP/Market Manager Cathy Cangiano. “We’re delivering powerful conservative voices, designed to challenge, inform, and inspire people every day.”
Seattle Red KTTH (770 AM) is a commercial radio station in Seattle, Washington. It is owned by Salt Lake City–based Bonneville International, a broadcasting company owned by of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It airs a conservative talk radio format. The station's transmitter site is on Vashon Island, while its studios are located in Seattle's Eastlake district.
By day, Seattle Red (KTTH 770 AM) broadcasts with 50,000 watts, the maximum for commercial AM stations.[2] Because 770 AM is a clear-channel frequency, KTTH must reduce power to 5,000 watts at night to avoid interfering with other stations. Programming is also heard on FM translator K233BU at 94.5 MHz.[3]
I'm glad to report it's showing a downward trend in it's meager ratings. According to Nielsen, it went from a 1.8 quarter hour rating in March down to a 1.5 in April. That basically means that on average the station reaches approximately 1.5% of the entire 6+ radio listening population in Seattle in any average quarter hour based on M-Su 6a-12m listening. For comparison, the top station in the market KUOW (public radio) reached 10.6 in April. (Pop is 4.1m)
