Classical 98.1 uses a wide spectrum of technologies to deliver the highest quality experience on air and online. In addition to a full-powered analog fm broadcast signal, king fm transmits additional channels of classical music using a state-of-the-art hd digital signal that allows over-the-air cd-quality reception of the main king fm channel and the calm by king channel. In support of our mission, king fm reaches out to a world-wide audience via online audio streams and our smartphone apps allowing audiences far beyond the range of our fm signal to appreciate and enjoy the northwest's great classical music performances. King fm's live broadcast capabilities bring the music of northwest artists from performance venues into the homes of listeners. Classical 98.1 carries concert pre-recorded broadcasts featuring seattle opera, seattle symphony, the seattle chamber music society, and the compline service at st. Mark's cathedral among others.
Classical 98.1 is committed to supporting the arts community and to making classical music accessible to all through new partnerships. Local classical music performing organizations are still struggling in bringing audiences back after the pandemic. This is impacting their financial well-being as well. Classical king continues to provide free and low cost announcements to these organizations to help them attract audiences to concerts, events, and exhibitions.
