Anchoring a metropolitan area of over 4 million people, Seattle is ranked by Arbitron as the 13th largest radio market in the US, while Nielsen ranks Seattle as the Number 12 television market. These figures don’t take into account Seattle’s proximity to Canada, or the Canadian audiences that receive these signals. Seattle’s radio market in particular is strong and competitive, fueled in part by the city’s influential music scene. While Seattle is home to nearly 50 radio stations, KRWM and KISW compete for the lion’s share of the music listening audience (with adult contemporary and active rock formats, respectively). KIRO-FM is one of the top news/talk stations in town, while its sister AM station, KIRO-AM, is exclusively sports talk.
Seattle is home to several professional sports teams, including the Seattle Seahawks (NFL), Seattle Mariners (MLB), and the Seattle Storm (WNBA). Seattle is also the birthplace of such celebrities as Jimi Hendrix, Adam West, Rainn Wilson, Chris Cornell and Sir Mix-a-Lot, to name only a few.
A media market as large as Seattle offers some great opportunities to connect, learn and grow. Whether your dream is to be a talk show host, radio DJ, station manager, communications engineer or other radio discipline, RADIO CONNECTION can help you make the most of these opportunities where other schools can’t.
