The Bullitts didn't hesitate to sell KING AM and KING TV in Seattle to a private company. There was better money from the major corporation than to donate the stations to a charity. But this is Chelan/Wenatchee, so this station, one that should really matter in the COMMUNITY, is donated to a charity and then swallowed up by NWPB. There will be no local programming. KOHO will be simply a translator station for NWPB. And Bullitt is praised for her philanthropy. Good one.
Organizations such as NWPB and K-Love are where local radio goes to die.
Rest in peace Ms Bullitt.
Very sad.
