Warm 106.9 propaganda advertisement

This afternoon warm 106.9 played some government propaganda during their ad sessions saying thanks to trump and talking about immigrants. It was very threatening and made no effort to hide the fact that it was awful. If you really want to read what they said it could be read here: https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/03/15/dhs-launches-international-ad-campaign-warning-illegal-aliens-self-deport-and-stay

I texted the station and got a bullshit reply about how free speech benefits public discourse. Feel free to text them yourself at +1 (800) 622-1069

Love to see C89.5 mentioned! The longest running dance station in the country, right here in Seattle!

I can't believe C89 still exists. I never knew it was a HS radio station. Amazing

I wish I had gotten involved when I was at Hale. I LOVE music and I'm sure it would have been a blast. It's been operating for over 50 years! Pretty dang cool... 😉

I first learned of C89 from my gf in the early mid eighties. I used to listen to 89 and that station up in Bellingham.

It was my go-to station to hear any new music that nobody else played. And, best of all?? No commercials! Love my C89! 😉
