Huh. KUOW, (one of) Seattle’s NPR stations, is on 94.9. Wonder what the story there is


88.1-91.9 MHz is reserved for noncommercial educational (NCE) stations, so only they can use those frequencies. However, there's nothing that disallows NCE stations from operating on unrestricted frequencies (so long as they are licensed, of course). It's not very common, though, because radio spectrum is expensive.

The band was donated to them by KING
