Interest tidbit from north of the border (props to NWBroadcasters for the story).
10/17/17 - KiSS RADiO CKKS-FM 104.9 Vancouver (also Chilliwack and Abbotsford) has become the first fully interactive radio station in Canada, giving listeners musical control. The station is now allowing listeners to select the music played, all day, every day, through the KiSS RADiO app and website. Listeners can choose from the station’s playlist, with songs pushed up and down in real time, as listeners vote on what songs to play. PD John Hipper says audience expectations were changing, and the move would help engage listeners on digital platforms.

I wonder if this could this ever come to Seattle?
