Entercom continues the roll-out of its LGBTQ Talk/Dance “Channel Q” with the addition of its second analog signal.
The brand launched today on 103.3 K277AE Seattle fed via 107.7 KNDD-HD2. The translator had previously served as a downtown fill-in for Rhythmic Hot AC “Hot 103.7” KHTP Tacoma. K277AE joins 103.1 KQPS Palm Springs and HD subchannels in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, Phoenix, Houston, and Las Vegas carrying the Channel Q programming.
In Seattle the new format will create a competitor to Seattle Public Schools’ Dance “C89.5” KNHC.
