PORT ANGELES – Changes are coming to the daytime, weekday lineup at Newsradio KONP.
On Tuesday, June 1st, Radio KONP will launch a new program designed to refresh and replace parts of the daily format of the #1 Newstalk radio station on the North Olympic Peninsula.
“An opportunity was created to re-evaluate daytime programming with the passing of Rush Limbaugh, the most listened-to host in radio history,” said Brown M. Maloney, owner and president of Radio Pacific. “Changing our format is no small undertaking and we spent weeks searching, cultivating and creating a new sound and feel for the morning.”
June 1st, KONP will debut Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, hosts of The Armstrong & Getty Show in the 9:00 am – noon time slot.
Without being angry and recognizing laughter is still the best medicine, this pair dedicates every broadcast to the idea that one can be both informed and involved. On The Armstrong and Getty Show, listeners will hear a take on news, politics, pop culture and everyday experiences of life.
In the afternoon from 2:00 – 4:00 pm, we will debut Our American Stories. This program brings you stories about Americans that highlight the power of radio as a storytelling medium.
Our American Stories covers America’s rich history delving into subjects
as broad as the arts, music, sports, business, technology, science and the military. In summary, stories of Americans celebrating hard work and risk taking, all presented in a nonpartisan manner.
Currently in this time slot, The Ramsey Show will move to evenings from 8:00 – 10:00 pm.
“We hope you’ll tune in and give our new format a listen”, Maloney went on to say, “We believe listeners will be pleased,” said Maloney.
