"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).
