History.
On October 26, 1984, the station first signed on in Raymond, Washington. The first [[call sign]] was KSWW. It was originally a [[List of North American broadcast station classes|Class A]] FM station, powered at only 230 watts, a fraction of its current output. It was owned by Pacific Broadcasting Company and had an [[adult contemporary]] format. 
In 1997, it was bought by Jodesha Broadcasting, Inc., for $182,400. The call letters switched to KFMY, and it began airing a [[classic rock]] format, as "Eagle 97.7." It later was granted a power boost and increase in its antenna height, allowing it to be heard in the more lucrative Seattle-Tacoma [[Media market|radio market]].
In May 2009, the station began simulcasting KOMO 1000 AM, while it was still owned by South Sound Broadcasting. On May 18, 2009, the call letters changed to KOMO-FM. In June 2017, the outright sale of the station to the [[Sinclair Broadcast Group]] for $6.75 million was announced. The sale received [[Federal Communications Commission]] (FCC) approval several years later.
