Seattle Expected To Get Fourth Sports Station

Seattle’s KPTK 1090 AM (50kw) will drop its liberal talk format sometime in the next 90 days.

Syndicators of programs heard on the station have received cancellation letters from CBS and are currently reaching out to local radio stations to find a new home for the programming, according to a story at everettpost.com.

According to one syndicator who asked not to be named, CBS is eliminating content that is not their own in favor of combining 1090 AM's Seattle signal into a CBS Radio Sports affiliate.

1090 AM will become Seattle's fourth all sports radio station alongside Fox Sports 1380 (KRKO-AM), 710 ESPN Seattle (KIRO-AM), and SportsRadio 950 (KJR-AM).  One syndicator indicated that 1090 will offer a local, afternoon drive sports talk program.  No word from CBS on that.

1090 AM is currently the Seattle home of Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, Bill Press, Randi Rhodes, and Mike Malloy.  It is unlikely any of those programs will find a home on a major signal in the Seattle market.
