KTTH
KTTH (770 AM) is a commercial radio station in Seattle, Washington. It is owned by Salt Lake City–based Bonneville International, a broadcasting company owned by of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It airs a conservative talk radio format. The station's transmitter site is on Vashon Island, while its studios are located in Seattle's Eastlake district.
By day, KTTH broadcasts with 50,000 watts, the maximum for commercial AM stations. Because 770 AM is a clear-channel frequency, KTTH must reduce power to 5,000 watts at night to avoid interfering with other stations. Programming is also heard on FM translator K233BU at 94.5 MHz.
Bonneville owns two talk radio stations in Seattle. KIRO-FM 97.3 concentrates largely on local shows and news while KTTH 770 airs mostly syndicated programming. On weekdays afternoons, local talk host Jason Rantz is heard. The rest of the schedule includes Armstrong & Getty, The Dana Loesch Show, The Guy Benson Show, The Will Cain Show, Fox Across America with Jimmy Failla, America at Night with Rich Valdes and America's First News with Matt Ray.
On weekends, KTTH features shows on health, money, retirement and real estate, some of which are brokered programming. Weekend syndicated hosts include Brian Kilmeade, Brett Baier and Josh Hammer. Most hours begin with an update from Fox News Radio.
The station was first licensed as KTCL, to the American Radio Telephone Company of Seattle. The call letters stood for the slogan "Know The Charmed Land". Much of its facilities were obtained through the purchase of equipment previously used by Roy Olmsted's station, KFQX. KTCL made its debut broadcast on April 5, 1925.
In mid-1926 the call letters were changed from KTCL to KOMO, with the owner now listed as American Radio Telephone Co. (Birt F. Fisher). Late that year the KOMO call letters were transferred to another Seattle station, with the now former KOMO changing to KGFA. This was quickly changed back to the original call sign of KTCL. In the fall of 1927 the call letters became KXA.
In 1932, KXA was authorized to move to 760 kHz. In 1941, as part of the implementation of the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement, KXA was shifted to 770 kHz. Because of the requirement to protect the nighttime signal of WJZ (later WABC) in New York City, the primary station on these frequencies, during its early history KXA was a daytimer station, and generally required to go off the air at sunset.
During the 1960s and 1970s, KXA had a classical music format. It competed with KING-FM 98.1 and KUOW-FM 94.9, which both aired classical music on the FM dial.
