[edit] History

KRWM, whose legacy dates back to 1964 as KBRO-FM and whose formats included Top 40 (1964-1972), country music (1972-1984, changed call letters to KWWA in 1979), second run at top 40 (1984-1987 as KHIT) and smooth jazz (1987-1992; first as KNUA in 1987, then to KKNW in 1990), flipped formats to its current format on October 26, 1992.

When the station first started with its AC format, the station competed against KLTX, known as "95.7 K-Lite". At first, it looked that the station did not have a promising future and was about to change formats; however, when KLTX unexpectedly flipped formats in 1994, KRWM picked up most of KLTX's former listeners, and ratings increased dramatically.

KRWM is also the flagship station of Delilah Rene's nighttime syndicated program for Premiere Radio, which originates from the station's studios (she lives in Seattle). Prior to going nationwide, Delilah's program was a regular nightly feature on KRWM. From mid November until December 26th, KRWM airs all-Christmas music, along with the Delilah program. They are one of two stations in Seattle to play continuous Christmas music, the other being KCMS-FM.
