Seattle Radio: KMPS Drops Country For Soft AC

Entercom Communications Corp. Monday announced the launching of a new format for former country station KMPS.  The station is now branding as The New 94.1 The Sound, Seattle’s new soft rock radio.

The station will provide Seattle music fans with a unique and expertly curated mix of soft rock hits from the 1980’s, 1990’s and 2000’s. The launch of The New 94.1 FM comes shortly after Entercom’s transformational merger with CBS Radio and expands on the company’s position as the #1 creator of live, original local audio content in the United States.

“The New 94.1 The Sound will provide the Seattle audience with a unique and relaxing radio experience that is curated with the Puget Sound listener in mind,” said Pat Paxton, Entercom’s President of Programming. “We are excited to fill this void in radio in Seattle and offer avid music fans a fresh new sound they can enjoy at work or as they go about their day.”

The station is celebrating its launch by putting the music first and playing 10,000 songs commercial-free.

The mix will include hits from beloved artists like Adele, Mariah Carey, Phil Collins, Elton John, Whitney Houston, Hall and Oates, among others. Listeners in the Seattle area can tune in to The New 94.1 FM, stream at www.941thesoundseattle.com and connect with the station online via social media as @941TheSoundSeattle, Facebook, Instagram and @941TheSoundSEA on Twitter
