With the recent mention of Wash. “indie” broadcaster Tom Read & his use of vintage/heritage call signs, here’s his list of his current stations.  Missing from the list is his latest acquisition – 1050 in Spokane suburb Dishman, which now has heritage calls KFIO.  Note that on-air imaging name for KTRW is ‘KTW’.  Tom Read is a veteran broadcaster in our state & each of his stations’ web pages have a history of the call letters in use, along with vintage pics of the originals.
