KKRT (900AM) is asports radio station. Licensed toWenatchee, Washington, United States. The station is owned byConnoisseur Media, through Alpha Media Licensee LLC, and features programming fromESPN Radio.[2]
KKRT's programming is simulcast on sister stationKWIQ (1020 AM) inMoses Lake North, Washington.
KKRT has changed its name various times since its debut. It was first licensed on February 1, 1957, as KUEN.[3] Thecall sign was changed to KSGA on July 1, 1985, and to KEYK in early January 1987. On October 13, 1988, the call sign was changed again to KKRT when it changed fromclassic country toadult standards as "K-Heart".[4]
On occasion, during the early 1990s, KKRT was used as a back-up station to carrySeattle Mariners radio broadcast fromKWWW, and later,KZPH when there were conflicts with broadcasts for theWashington State Cougars Football Team and theSeattle SuperSonics.
In 1993, the station dropped the standards format, and carried the audio feed ofCNN Headline News. It was rebranded as "CNN AM 900".
In 1996, KKRT became the full time Mariners affiliate, and changed to an all sports format as "SportsRadio 900" carrying programming fromOne-on-One Sports andESPN Radio. The station also later picked up the local rights to WSU football (which ended in 2015, when the broadcasts moved toKPQ) and the Sonics (which ended after the 2006–07 season, one year before the relocation to Oklahoma City). In 2000, KKRT dropped One-on-One and started carrying the entire ESPN Radio schedule.
In 2021, KKRT replaced most of ESPN Radio's weekday programming withBrock & Salk andWyman & Bob fromSeattle Sports 710.[5] Along with the Mariners, KKRT is the regional affiliate for theWashington Huskies Football Team and theGonzaga Men's Basketball Team.
