press release:
KPLU’s long-time signal to West Seattle at 88.1 FM may encounter interference due to a new radio station broadcasting on that same frequency.

KLOP-FM, a Christian Contemporary station licensed to Ocean Park, Washington, will sign on at 88.1 FM Monday, December 19. Because of terrain and distance, it’s possible that some KPLU listeners in West Seattle will still be able to hear the station, but others may experience some signal disruption.

At the present time, KPLU is unable to do anything about the interference. However, the station has a license application in to the FCC to move its West Seattle signal to a new frequency. In the meantime, if West Seattle listeners do encounter interference, KPLU advises them to try listening at 88.5 FM or online at www.kplu.org.

Those affected by a signal disruption are also encouraged to notify KPLU Listener Services at 800-677-5758 or e-mail the station at info@kplu.org.
