Hubbard AAA 98.9 KPNW-FM has begun staffing up with the addition of John Fisher to host middays from 10am-3pm.
Fisher most recently spent four years in mornings at Audacy Soft AC “94.1 The Sound” KSWD until being laid off in August 2022. He is best known in the market for his over two decade run in mornings at AAA “103.7 The Mountain” KMTT from 1992 until its format change in 2013. He also spent three years various shifts at Hubbard AC “Warm 106.9” KWRM prior to joining KSWD. Before his 1992 arrival in Seattle, Fisher worked in Chicago and Columbus OH including mornings at WLVQ Columbus from 1978-81 and 1988-90 and mornings at WMET and WCKG Chicago and nights at WLUP.
98.9 KPNW, Seattle’s Home for Music Lovers, announces its first addition to its on-air line-up. John Fisher will bring a familiar voice to the Puget Sound on the new station each weekday from 10am to 3pm starting April 10th, 2023
“We are pleased to welcome John Fisher, a familiar trusted voice in the PNW, stated Scott Mahalick, Hubbard Seattle Operations Manager. “John’s unique perspective of storytelling makes your listening experience much more interesting.”
John Fisher has been a Seattle radio mainstay for almost 30 years since arriving from Chicago in the early 1990s to join 103.7 The Mountain (KMTT).
John figured radio was in the rearview mirror. But when he woke up on Valentine’s Day 2023 to learn that there was a new station in town playing the kind of eclectic and diverse music variety he loved and missed on Seattle radio, John realized, “I wasn’t over radio, I was just over safe, predictable, cookie-cutter radio. As soon as I heard KPNW, I knew I had to be a part of this adventure.”
“I know there’s a pent-up passion for this kind of music mix on local radio because people come up to me and tell me that all the time,” John continued. “I am still kind of stunned that I get a chance once again to put it all together every workday for music lovers in the PNW. You can tell your friends it’s safe to listen to the radio again!”
Welcome John! We are excited to have you at Hubbard Seattle on the new 98.9 KPNW taking this adventure with us!
