Bill Virgin of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer looks at the tough business news market in radio and why it has had difficulty gaining a foothold in the city.
“But nationally, there are just 25 stations with business news as their primary format, according to M Street Publications, which tracks the radio industry. None of those are in Seattle.

What was then KEZX-AM/1150 shifted to a soul/R&B format in 1998, the same year that KNWX-AM/770 went from all-news to a business format.
