Er, didn't Bonneville sell KIRO to Entercom years ago?

Anyway, it'll go over like a lead balloon. FM in Western Washington ends
up full of holes. (I live in one of them). There's a lot of rolling
hills and they can't get a transmitter high enough to fill in the shadows.

The local NPR stations end up simulcasting on two or three transmitters,
something the commercial guys probably can't afford to do.
