Historical BackgroundReturn to Top

The KING Broadcasting Company was founded in 1946 by Dorothy Stimson Bullitt. Originally branded as the Western Waves company, the KING call letters were purchased in 1946 from the owner of the merchant vessel the S.S. Watertown . At the time, KING consisted of the AM radio station KEVR 1090 located on the 21st floor of the Smith tower, and a broadcasting tower on Maury Island. By 1948, KING had branched out to FM broadcasting, and television with the purchase of KRSC-TV. Due to an FCC freeze on the granting of new television licenses, KING enjoyed a five-year monopoly on television broadcasting in the Seattle area. During this time, KING was airing programs from all four national television affiliates. Following the freeze, in 1953 KING-TV was affiliated with ABC until 1959 when it switched to NBC. Expansion of the KING Broadcasting Company continued in 1955 with the purchase of KGW-TV and radio in Portland, Oregon, KREM-TV, AM and FM stations in Spokane, Washington in 1958 and KTVB-TV in Boise, Idaho in 1980. Founder Dorothy Stimson Bullitt was President of KING from its founding until 1961. Under her tenure, KING rose to prominence not only as the first television station in the Northwest, but also as recipients of numerous broadcasting awards including the first Peabody awarded for a television show produced by a local station for Wunda Wunda in 1957. KING was also a charter subscriber of the National Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters code of conduct which Bullitt served as a board member for eight years and contributed to the creation of the first code. Although stepping down as the President of KING, Bullitt continued serving as KING's Chairman of the Board until 1967 but remained its majority stockholder and was involved with KING until a few years before her death in 1989. Ownership of KING remained in the Bullitt family until it was sold to the Providence Journal Company. At the time, KING consisted of six television stations in four states, six radio stations, a cable television company, a broadcasting sales company and mobile broadcasting company.

KING-TV cameras were on hand for special remote broadcasts as were Radio KING microphones, when inmates revealed the reasons behind the riot in a series of sensational disclosures.

Attached note: Al Cumings, who kids the Pacific Northwest through breakfast every morning on Radio KING, heckled the Seafair Pirates a little too much-even though it was in good fun-during the Seattle Centennial Celebration.

This is typical of fun-loving adventures of Al Cumings, who often makes Page 1 and even has been featured in Time magazine for his antics.

Catherine Donnelly and her mother
Note with photos: Catherine Donnelly is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Washington and has a Master's degree. She is a victim of cerebral palsy who earns a living for herself and her widowed mother by typing. Catherine won a trip to Hollywood in a nation-wide contest conducted by Eddie Cantor. Catherine told best: "What my mother means to me". While Catherine and her mother were in Hollywood, personnel of KING Broadcasting Company took on the project of remodeling the Donnelly home, which was badly in need of repair and "touching up". The project was headed by girls of the KING organization. The girls, who were the "bosses", had only one understanding: there would be no publicity on what was being done as a complete surprise to Catherine and her mother.These photographs show what a great project it was. And this is the first mention of it outside of KING. And it is desired that this be one of KING's secrets.
