KONP radio began regular broadcasting at 6:30 a.m. on February 3, 1945. It was in 1937 that the Evening Press Inc., a subsidiary of the Port Angeles Evening News Inc., first sought an AM radio license for the city of Port Angeles. Final FCC approval was delayed nearly 8 years due to international reallocation of frequencies, then suspension of all newspaper applications, and finally wartime suspension of all new construction.
Newsradio KONP is a radio station serving the Olympic Peninsula. The station provides local and national news, weather updates, and community event information. Programming includes shows like The Morning Scramble, The Todd Ortloff Show, and The Girl Friday Show, alongside syndicated programs such as Coast to Coast AM.
