Domain Insight 12/31: KOMO By Any Other Name

[membership level="2,3"] On the 95th anniversary to the day that the KOMO call letters were first heard in Seattle, they will be vanishing from local radio. When Lotus Communications acquired KOMO and Sinclair's other Seattle radio properties earlier this year, the KOMO call letters and intellectual property were not included to remain with KOMO-TV . And as the calendar turns to 2022, new call letters and branding will appear on News 1000 KOMO Seattle and 97.7 KOMO-FM Oakville WA. Lotus has registered a new NWNewsRadio.com domain for the station. And with it has reserved KNWN and KNWN-FM for the stations pointing to " Northwest News Radio " as the soon-to-be branding for the legacy brand. The KOMO call letters first appeared in Seattle on December 31, 1926 on what is now 950 KJR. A 1944 call swap between the two stations would move them to 1000. The all-News format would launch in 2003, but re-add Talk shows at various times until 2012. [/membership]
