Hubbard Radio AAA 98.9 KPNW-FM Seattle continues to load up with well-known personalties from the market as Marty Riemer joins the station to host a Saturday 10am-3pm show starting July 29.
Riemer was best known for his fifteen year run in afternoons and then mornings at Entercom AAA “103.7 The Mountain” KMTT from 1997 to its demise in 2012. He also spent six years at Alternative “X96.5” KXRX from 1989 to 1995 and has worked on-air at 950 KJR, 89.9 KGRG, 90.3 KCMU, 95.7 KJR-FM, and 102.5 KZOK in his over 30 year career all in Seattle.
98.9 KPNW, Seattle’s Home for Music Lovers, announces Marty Riemer is returning to the Seattle airwaves each Saturday from 10a-3pm starting this Saturday, July 29, 2023.
“We are thrilled to have Marty join the all-star 98.9 KPNW team and bring his vibrant energy, passion and knowledge back to the PNW,” stated Scott Mahalick, Hubbard Seattle Operations Manager and Content Director.Marty Riemer is a veteran broadcaster, music lover, podcaster and video producer. He is that rare broadcaster who spent all his career – 30 plus years – in one market, Seattle.
Marty’s radio career started when he was 13 at KGRG and he went on to host shows at some of Seattle’s most renowned radio properties: KCMU (the precursor to KEXP), KZOK, KJR, KXRX, and KMTT – The Mountain.
He’s gone on to establish himself in a variety of other media arenas. From one of the first daily live music and entertainment podcasts in Seattle to his award-winning production company, Twisted Scholar, to an annual live comedy festival – “The Marty Riemer Funny Festival”. But, through it all, he has maintained a genuine love for radio and the opportunity to introduce listeners to cool music and is excited to do it again.
“It’s been a while since I’ve experienced FOMO listening to the radio”, Riemer stated. “But as soon as 98.9 KPNW went on the air, and I heard them play a bunch of cool oh-wow songs, and saw who they were hiring, I thought, hey, I’d like to be a part of that. So, I’m thrilled I am, even in a small way. Seattle has needed a station like 98.9 KPNW for a long time.”
Welcome Marty! We are excited to have you at Hubbard Seattle on the new 98.9 KPNW!
