New Digs

Can you believe we are still unpacking?

After spending decades at the old building in Astoria we had a lot to go through to make sure we took our history with us while dumping tons of odds and ends. Last week we invited non-profits to haul off anything they could make use of and put a number of temp labor guys to work filling multiple dumpster loads.

At the new NNB Building in Warrenton construction finishing work is just about completed on the interior and work is underway on finishing the studios.

Getting settled back into an on-air routine has been interesting. I didn't realize how much I say on the radio was linked to our old location. Little things like giving the current temperature while reminding myself not to say "..and 50 on the bay side at KAST" has been a difficult habit to break.

The change in location hasn't changed our news coverage. We still cover every city and county on a regular basis. This morning we had stories out of Astoria, Seaside, Long Beach and, Warrenton.

The move leaves our transmitters and towers right where they have always been. Three in Astoria, one in Seaside, one in Ilwaco.

Our engineering team is working now on some clean-up and corrections to network connections. Our new phone system is Internet dependent and still has a few bugs that are being worked on.

All-in-all work is moving along as expected. The new phone numbers:

Main number.....503-861-6620
