iHeartMedia/Seattle launches The New Sports Radio 93.3 KJR-FM, as "Seattle's Sports Leader," effective immediately. The new outlet will become the only sports station to air on the FM dial in Seattle bringing listeners live and local talent all day long. The station will also simulcast on Sports Radio 950 KJR-AM.
KJR-FM will feature heritage talent such as Dave Softy Mahler, Ian Furness, Jason Puckett, Jim Moore, Chuck Powell and former Seattle Mariner Bucky Jacobsen. In addition, the station will remain the play-by-play rights holder for the University of Washington Huskies, Seattle Kraken and Seattle Sounders.
"By moving the legendary KJR brand to the FM band, we're going to be able to grow the next generation of Seattle Sports fans," said iHeartMedia Seattle Market President Mark Glynn. "With the combination of Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM, Sports Radio 950 KJR AM and the iHeartRadio app, we enhance our sports platform and become the #1 destination for sports and currently the only FM sports platform in Seattle."
The full programming lineup included Chuck and Bucky in the Morning (6-10am), Jason Puckett and Jim Moore (10am-1pm), Ian Furness (1-3pm) and Dave "Softy" Mahler and Dick Fain (3-6pm).
