'''KIRO-FM''' (97.3 [[FM broadcasting|FM]]) is a [[radio station]] in [[Seattle, Washington]], USA, with a [[news/talk]] format [[simulcasting]] [[KIRO (AM)|KIRO]] 710 AM. The station previously broadcast a [[classic hits]] format under the '''KBSG-FM''' callsign. |
|||
==History== |
|||
On [[August 1]], [[2007]] KBSG was rebranded from "KBSG 97.3" to "The New B97.3" dropping the word 'oldies' from the station title.<ref name="kbsg_seapi">[http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/tv/325949_radiobeat02.html KBSG becomes B97.3, Seattle PI]</ref> |
|||
Exactly one year later, on [[August 1]], [[2008]], the station's call letters were changed to KIRO-FM.<ref name="fcc-kbsgcallchange">{{cite web |url=http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/call_hist.pl?Facility_id=33682&Callsign=KIRO-FM |title=Call Sign History |accessdate=2008-08-02 |work=CDBS Public Access |publisher=[[Federal Communications Commission]]}}</ref> |
|||
On [[August 12]], [[2008]] at 4:23 AM, KBSG's frequency began to simulcast sister news/talk radio station [[KIRO (AM)|KIRO]]; the final song as a classic rock station, ''[[Start Me Up]]'' by the [[Rolling Stones]], was cut off about halfway into the song as the FM station joined KIRO AM's ''[[The Wall Street Journal|Wall Street Journal This Morning]]'' in progress. <ref>[http://mynorthwest.com/?sid=77894&nid=130]</ref> <ref>[http://mynorthwest.com/?nid=106]</ref> <ref>[http://www.radio-info.com/smf/index.php/topic,106666.0.html#top Radio-Info: "The music died at 4:23am on 97.3"]</ref> |
