KEYW (98.3 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Hot Adult Contemporary format. Licensed to Pasco, Washington, USA, the station serves the Tri-Cities area. The station is currently owned by Townsquare Media.[1]
On December 1, 2010 ownership group Townsquare Media announced changes regarding the 98.3 frequency. With the acquisition of former New Northwest broadcast properties in the market, Townsquare is over the FCC ownership limit in the Tri-Cities. The company is being forced divest some properties. These stations to be divested will operate in a divestiture trust until they are sold. The 98.3 frequency is being moved into this trust.
In 2011, the 98.3 frequency will change call letters and formats. The current Hot AC format and call letters will move to the 106.5 frequency. The current branding, call letters and format on the 106.5 frequency will move to 98.3. [2]
[edit] History
The station was assigned the call letters KTCW on 1984-07-25. On 1986-04-14, the station changed its call sign to the current KEYW.[3]
