History Non-Commercial KRAB The station first signed on the air on September 15, 1962, as non-commercial KRAB. It was founded by Lorenzo Milam and eventually owned by the Jack Straw Memorial Foundation. The station’s effective radiated power was 20,000 watts. KRAB broadcast an eclectic mix of Pacifica radio features, world music, jazz, and much more. But the station was also dangerously close to insolvency. Its management realized the station could be sold to a commercial broadcaster and an endowment created, allowing the foundation to broadcast in the non-commercial part of the radio dial, which exists between 88.1 MHz and 91.9 MHz. The owners of KRAB originally applied to share time with KNHC, owned by the Seattle Public Schools. However, the school district did not want to give up air time. Ultimately, the foundation got a license for 90.7 MHz in Everett, Washington. KRAB's legacy remains on the air at KSER. In April 1984, after Sunbelt Communications bought KRAB, the 107.7 FM frequency went dark for the next 11 months. KMGI The first commercial station on 107.7 signed on March 9, 1985. It played oldies-based soft adult contemporary music and was known as KMGI, "Magic 108." The station had limited success for four years under the format; under the ownership of the Noble Broadcast Group, in August 1989, KMGI would refocus as a Hot AC station and rebranded as "I-107.7." KMGI brought together the morning team of Kelly Stevens and Alpha Trivette, who remained with the station throughout its days as "I-107.7". All forms of AC tried on the station resulted in low ratings.
