KKXA FM 101.1

A classic country radio station licensed to Snohomish, Washington, broadcasting on 1520 AM with an FM translator at 101.1 FM. The station is owned by CAAM Partnership, LLC, an entity controlled by the Skotdal family, which also publishes the Everett Post newspaper. Studios are shared with sister station AM 1380 KRKO at the Key Tower in downtown Everett, while the transmitter is located off Short School Road in Snohomish. The station broadcasts at 50,000 watts — the maximum power permitted for commercial AM stations — using a non-directional daytime antenna and a directional antenna at night to avoid interference with Class A stations KOKC in Oklahoma City and WWKB in Buffalo on the shared clear channel frequency of 1520 kHz. The FM translator operates at 250 watts. Branded as "Classic Country KXA," the station airs country music from earlier decades alongside sports programming. It serves as an affiliate of the Washington State University Cougar football and basketball network and carries Western Conference high school sports. Occasional coverage of Everett AquaSox baseball, a Seattle Mariners affiliate, and Everett Silvertips hockey games is also part of the schedule. The station was constructed following an FCC construction permit originally applied for in January 2004 and granted in March 2011.
