KHTP

KHTP (103.7 FM, "Hot 103-7"), is a commercial radio station licensed to Tacoma, Washington, and serving the Seattle metropolitan area.

A few years later, the FM station began running separate programming, with an automated Top 40 format.

At 2 p.m. on April 10, 1991, KBRD flipped to a long running adult album alternative (AAA) format as "FM 104 The Mountain" and the KMTT call sign.

The station did have some ratings issues for the first couple of years due to its transmitter location south of Tacoma.

This was changed when the transmitter relocated to Tiger Mountain in Issaquah, amid the towers for other Seattle area TV and FM stations.

However, as time went on, the station saw a decline in ratings, especially after the introduction of the Portable People Meter in the Seattle market in 2009.

[15][16] The Marty Riemer & Jodi Brothers morning show were dismissed in September 2009, and were replaced by Sean Demery (formerly of 99X in Atlanta), until he was released in early 2011.

[19] In late 2011, Shawn Stewart left KMTT, as the station shifted to a more classic rock direction, but still retaining AAA artists.

On August 30, 2013, at 1:50 p.m., after playing "If You Leave" by OMD, KMTT began stunting with a loop of "It's The End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" by R.E.M.

KHTP experienced immediate ratings success with its new format; in its first full book as "Hot" in October, the station jumped to a 4.8 share.

[29] On June 27, 2017, Entercom announced that recording artist and Seattle native Sir Mix-a-Lot would host mornings on the station beginning July 5.

[30] On August 30, 2018, former KSFM on-air host and MD Bre Ruiz was named co-host for the Sir Mix-a-Lot morning show effective September 4.

It featured music from Adult Album Alternative artists new and old, with exclusive live songs from The Mountain's own archives.

With the success of the first album, the station carried on an annual release of collections, eventually renaming the series Live from the Mountain Music Lounge with the ninth volume.
