At night, nationally syndicated shows are heard, Prime Time with John Dickerson, CBS Eye on the World with John Batchelor, Coast to Coast AM with George Noory and This Morning, America's First News with Gordon Deal.

[7] The HD-2 digital subchannel simulcasts co-owned KIRO (710 AM)'s sports radio format.

[8] The station was powered at 10,000 watts, a fraction of its current output, and exclusively targeted Tacoma and South Puget Sound.

The Tacoma News Tribune added an AM station in 1952, KTNT (1400 kHz, now KITZ); and in 1953, KTNT-TV (channel 11, now KSTW).

[9] While the AM station carried a personality adult top 40 sound, the FM station switched to an automated adult contemporary format ("Mellow sounds in contemporary music") branded as "97 KNBQ".

By 1980, the station was live and local with a full DJ staff and a personality intensive approach.

The Federal Communications Commission granted a construction permit to increase the antenna height to 1,480 feet, moving the transmitter to Tiger Mountain.

On August 1, 2007, after Entercom traded KBSG, KIRO and KTTH to Bonneville as part of a multi-market station swap.
