This is sad! All because the Port can make more money by getting rid of KGY's unique Budd Inlet Piling Studios. The Seattle P.I.:

I posted this link before on another thread, it will be a shame to loose this scenic broadcast site.

Thanks again, to Scott Fybush for his recent coverage of the N.W. sites!

It's always about the money. better they should move now then flooded due to global warming.

...more importantly, did they fill their overnight slot? I thought that would have been a perfect gig for me.......

Shows what I know. At least I am still in the running for the part time custodial gig at a sattelite campus of a major university....

Roger - did you send them a package? If so - did they respond?

I applied for a reporter opening they had posted a few times last summer - send a couple of packages - followed up - absolutely no response. And no one knows if they actually hired a reporter or not.

"better they should move now then flooded due to global warming."

If anything, they should move out of the way for the coming pyroclastic flow from Mt. Rainer.

I think Al Gore scared them into moving away from the water and to higher ground.

I worked at KGY for nearly 2 years in the early 70's. The control room was fabulous! Oh sure we had the same crappy equipment every small radio station had at the time, but the view was out of this world. The control room sat over the bay with the Olympic Mountains in the backdrop. During the summer when the tide was in, boaters would float up to the deck and request songs! Not Bad! Dick Pust was the morning guy then, and still is, who says there's no job security in radio. He's also one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Sad day when KGY has to pull up anchor and move from Olympia's waterfront!

The studios were great in their day. But, the last time I stopped by, to drop off a dub, I could see the place was rotting, literally. The floor had holes in it, and the place was just worn out from the elements.

yep. nope.
