REMEMBERING PORTLAND RADIO STATIONS


KKEY Radio station at 13th & Burnside in Portland,
Oregon.

No photo description available.

From July 4, 1954 when the station first signed on with the
callsign KHFS until 1956, then KKEY was owned by the
Weagant family of Vancouver, Washington.

After trying several different formats throughout the 1950s
and ’60s, in 1971, KKEY went all talk with such hosts as
Jack Hurd, Alan Hirsch, Peter Marland Jones, Jerry Dimmitt,
and Rick Miller.


On May 1, 2023, then owners Bustos Media surrendered
KXET’s license to the FCC, who cancelled it the same day.
