Seattle’s jazz radio 1967

View Comments

• Reading that KING FM was broadcasting from shows made me wonder how they were accomplishing that from international locations. Were they using a phone line or some other way? 1967 was a long way from ISDN or other more recent methods.

  • For that time period, it may have been broadcast over telephone lines. Very expensive!

  hmmm…reading this, one would get the impression that KYAC was a full-time station instead of a 6am-sunset operation. Sonny Buxton was one of the northwest’s most knowledgable jazz DJs & has been heard for years now on San Mateo’s KCSM 91.1 every Saturday from noon-2pm. Since this is an article focusing on Seattle’s jazz airwaves, there’s no mention of KLSN, KUOW, KBVU having regular jazz shows or even KOMO & KTAC which had weekly programs
