KPLU-FM (88.5 MHz) is a news & jazz format National Public Radio member station in Tacoma, Washington, USA, owned by Pacific Lutheran University (PLU). It is one of three full NPR members in the Seattle area, the others being KUOW-FM and KVTI, an outlet of Northwest Public Radio. On November 12, 2015, PLU announced its intention to sell the station to the University of Washington, which already operates KUOW.[1]
KPLU-FM broadcasts in HD on 88.5 FM.[2]
Founded on November 16, 1966,[3] KPLU broadcasts from West Tiger Mountain in the Issaquah Alps with a power of 68,000 watts. Studios are located in both Tacoma and Seattle. KPLU plays a variety of NPR programs, including All Things Considered, Car Talk, and Morning Edition. The locally produced BirdNote airs every morning. KPLU is known for its jazz programing and regional news coverage. Those who listen online can choose either a regular station feed, or listen to Jazz24, a 24/7 free online jazz station.
