Seattle Radio: Marty Riemer Returns To Air At KPNW


98.9 KPNW, Seattle’s Home for Music Lovers, announces Marty Riemer is returning to the Seattle airwaves each Saturday from 10a-3pm starting this Saturday, July 29, 2023.

“We are thrilled to have Marty join the all-star 98.9 KPNW team and bring his vibrant energy, passion and knowledge back to the PNW,” stated Scott Mahalick, Hubbard Seattle Operations Manager and Content Director.

Marty Riemer
Marty Riemer is a veteran broadcaster, music lover, podcaster and video producer. He is that rare broadcaster who spent all his career – 30 plus years – in one market, Seattle.

Marty’s radio career started when he was 13 at KGRG and he went on to host shows at some of Seattle’s most renowned radio properties: KCMU (the precursor to KEXP), KZOK, KJR, KXRX, and KMTT – The Mountain.

He’s gone on to establish himself in a variety of other media arenas. From one of the first daily live music and entertainment podcasts in Seattle to his award-winning production company, Twisted Scholar, to an annual live comedy festival – “The Marty Riemer Funny Festival”. But, through it all, he has maintained a genuine love for radio and the opportunity to introduce listeners to cool music and is excited to do it again.

“It’s been a while since I’ve experienced FOMO listening to the radio”, Riemer stated. “But as soon as 98.9 KPNW went on the air, and I heard them play a bunch of cool oh-wow songs, and saw who they were hiring, I thought, hey, I’d like to be a part of that. So, I’m thrilled I am, even in a small way. Seattle has needed a station like 98.9 KPNW for a long time.”

Welcome Marty! We are excited to have you at Hubbard Seattle on the new 98.9 KPNW!
