KMTT (103.7 FM), marketed as "103-7 The Mountain", is an adult album alternative-leaning classic rock FM radio station in the Seattle, Washington market.

The station broadcasts at 103.7 MHz and is owned and operated by Entercom Communications. The station's transmitting antenna is on Tiger Mountain. The station also has two translators: on 103.3 FM (K277AE) targeting Downtown Seattle, and 104.1 FM (K281AD) targeting Olympia.

[edit] History

KMTT first began broadcasting in the 1960s as KTAC-FM, then KBRD ("K-Bird"), a beautiful music station on 103.9 FM. This lasted until April 19, 1991, when it flipped to its long running adult album alternative format. The former KBRD callsign is now on 680 kHz in Olympia. KBRD moved to 103.7 in 1981.

KMTT was the home of the Marty Riemer & Jodi Brothers morning show until they were dismissed in September 2009. In January 2011, Marty Reimer returned to the station to host afternoon drive.

In late 2011, the station dismissed DJ Shawn Stewart, moved Marty Riemer to voice tracking from his home, and shifted to a more classic rock format, but still retains some AAA tracks. The change was likely due to ratings issues, which have been eroding over the past few years. [1]
