Our Mission

Classical KING is where new generations fall in love with classical music. For over 75 years the station has been an essential part of the Pacific Northwest, amplifying this artform for all to hear. With no barriers to entry, we are an accessible and welcoming community where audiences old and new find deeper connection to the music we all love.

Hundreds of thousands of listeners tune in to our radio broadcasts and streaming services each week. Exceptional hosts produce our 98% local content which highlights the best in classical music, new and diverse artistry, and celebrates the musicians who make their home in our region. As an independent, non-profit organization, listener-support fuels every aspect of our free service. Legacy gifts are helping to pave the way for a bright future, bringing the richness of classical music to audiences in our community for decades to come.
