After a 15-year absence, veteran Seattle radio personality Tim Hunter is dusting off his headphones to wake up listeners on Classic Hits KRKO/Everett (Seattle) every weekday morning, from 6-9am, beginning this Monday, September 10. Hunter was a Northwest radio fixture for decades, producing for Larry Nelson and the KOMO Radio Morning show, along with his 19-year run at KLSY, where he was the funny middle-man of the Murdock, Hunter & Alice morning show.

"The second KRKO began playing Everett's Greatest Hits earlier this summer, I saw myself seriously considering some kind of return to radio," explained Hunter. "I have an incredibly jam-packed schedule and when the folks at KRKO offered to work around my crazy life, I couldn't resist. Anyone in radio will tell you, once you've tasted it, you're hooked for life. I look forward to adding some fun between all the great music we'll be playing, which, by the way, is the same songs I used to play!"

"Most Radio stations around the country are owned by huge corporations whose decisions are made nationally, not locally. Being locally owned allows us to make decisions that better serve the listeners and businesses in our community," added General Manager Chuck Maylin.

KRKO and co-owned KKXA-AM, are among the last locally owned and operated stations in Western Washington, each broadcasting with 50,000 watts of power on AM and in Everett on local FM signals 95.3 and 101.1.
