#kfnq

Remember a couple of years ago when CBS owned a progressive talk station on Seattle? KPTK was the Space Needle City's progressive voice until the call of what they thought were higher ratings got them to change the format to all-sports.

Now it's known as KFNQ, aka The Fan 1090 AM.  And it's not doing well. Since the format change, they have languished in last place of all Seattle stations subscribing to Nielsen. In September, 2014, KFNQ only managed a 0.2. All sports KJR-AM did a 1.7, and KIRO-AM did a whopping 4.5 (but then, to be fair, KIRO also has BOTH the Mariners and the Seahawks.

Now here's where PROGRESSIVE INVESTORS AND BROADCASTERS come in. CBS is planning to SELL several radio properties in medium and small markets.That Includes their Seattle holdings.  And that DOES include AM 1090.

Do I have to draw a picture?

The station is a 50K watter, with great coverage of the Puget Sound, going into Canada. I guess the asking price could very well be $3-5 million. And you do have a strong local personality who would jump at the chance to come back "home" (that would be Ron Reagan, Jr.)
