KTDD (104.9 MHz) is an FM radio station licensed to Eatonville, Washington, and serving the southern Puget Sound region including Tacoma.
[2] The 104.9 frequency first signed on in the late 1980s as FM translator K285AE that rebroadcast the adult contemporary format of KLTX (now KJEB-FM).
The frequency came back to air in 1995, using call sign KJUN-FM, broadcasting a country music format.
The station briefly aired syndicated programming in 2001, such as the "Lex and Terry" morning show, which is based out of Dallas.
[5][6] The final three songs on The Monkey were "Brass Monkey" by the Beastie Boys, "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" by R.E.M., and "Closing Time" by Semisonic, while GenX's first three songs were "Get Ready for This" by 2 Unlimited, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana, and "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot.
On October 28, 2011, at 5 p.m., the station dropped the "GenX" format and began stunting with Halloween music as "Freddy 104-9".
As part of a major format shuffle involving four of iHeart's Seattle stations, on January 19, 2016 at noon, after playing "Lump" by Seattle band The Presidents of the United States of America, KKBW's format moved to sister KYNW and was modified to alternative as "Alt 102.9."
The company planned to divest KUBE and KFOO to Ocean Station Trust in preparation for their sale to a third-party (which was completed on December 19).
[12] As part of the impending divestment, the station swapped call signs with KTDD in San Bernardino, California on November 14, 2017.
KUBE's programming and format was moved back to KPWK on an HD Radio subchannel (which, albeit partially, reversed the 2016 swap).
