KRML was put on the world map by Carmel Actor, Director & Movie Producer Clint Eastwood who, in his directorial debut, played a DJ at KRML in the 1971 movie “Play Misty for Me”.
"I am very excited Scot McKay has bought KRML and will keep it going. Carmel deserves to have this wonderful station that will continue to feature great music," said Eastwood. McKay became interested in KRML in the spring of 2010 after a series of conversations with Eastwood.
McKay and Eastwood previously co-hosted a fundraiser for JazzMaster's Workshop, a non-profit organization that provides free music lessons to children. McKay intends to restore KRML to the local broadcasting jewel it once was with multiple studios locally.
“I invite the local arts and business community to join me in this exciting undertaking as I focus on getting KRML back on its feet playing great music, while supporting Carmel & Monterey Peninsula tourism & events,” said McKay when asked about his future plans with KRML. McKay credits Charles Chrietzberg, CEO of Monterey County Bank, with helping keep KRML local and out of the hands of a national Country Music syndicate.
