Radio, print & web | A legacy alive & well.

Jeff Slakey: from the Broadcast Booth

I have some many emotions as I start to write this. Almost exactly a year from when I thought I had done my last broadcast on KMAS. It was May 31, 2022 when I started to work with Tracing The Fjord. This past year I have been able to work conversation craft and video storytelling as we shine the light on interesting people and places in our area.

Well, a year later, and I’m about to take those new skills and flip on the microphone again. Getting the privilege of talking with you on KMAS. The feedback we’ve received since the announcement has been so overwhelming, it’s really quite something. We are going to work hard to try to live up to both the highest expectations.

We are still working on the final details as we go to print with the summer issue, what we can share is that KMAS will return to full service radio with news, community updates and a mix of some of the best music ever made. We will keep some shows, but the majority will go away. Mariners and Seahawks will stay, and we may get some local sports on as well.

I'm working to create a local music show and we're planning on designing a Mason County outdoor living show. I will be back on the air in the mornings with news and interviews and music. I’d love for you to join me. I can’t wait to catch you up on all that’s been going on!

If you have news tips, email jeff@kmas. com, or leave a voice message at 360-4261030, which I may play on the air; or write PO 622, Shelton WA, 98584. You can also support us by advertising, which benefits us as well as gets your business out to the listeners. Another way to support is by listening, telling everyone you know and helping us spread the word.

Talk Soon!
