iHeart Seattle Launches ‘The Patriot’

• iHeartMedia on Monday formally flipped KPTR-AM (formerly Sports-Talk KFNQ and branded as KJR 1090)/Seattle to Conservative Talk as 1090 The Patriot, featuring the usual raft of right wing opinion hosts — Glenn Beck (6-9am); Clay Travis & Buck Sexton (9am-noon); Sean Hannity (noon-3pm); and Jesse Kelly (3-6pm); followed by the Compass Media Networks-syndicated Joe Pags Show, weeknights from 6-9pm PT.

“We are proud to be launching a new station in Seattle, seeing an opportunity to bring a powerful conservative talk line-up to the airwaves,” said Rich Moore, SVP of Programming for iHeartMedia Seattle. “This station brings highly engaging content and information with leading talent in the conservative talk space that our listeners will gravitate towards.”

• FYI: The content on the now former 1090 KJR is available on 950 KJR-AM and simulcasting on 93.3 KJR-FM, the former longtime home of the late KUBE.
