KCKO (Washington)
KCKO was a radio station broadcasting on 1380 kHz AM last licensed to Millwood, Washington, United States, a suburb of Spokane.

History Martha and Robert Rapp obtained a construction permit for a new 5,000-watt daytime-only radio station on 1380 kHz, licensed to Spokane, on September 5, 1956. The station, Spokane's eighth, debuted February 12, 1957, as KPEG. Except for manager Jerrell Henry, the station boasted an all-woman staff, and all of the station's on-air personalities used the first name "Peg". A newspaper advertisement on launch day described the station as "the woman's personal radio station" and "the most unusual radio station on the West Coast". It did not take long for ownership to change at the young station. On July 2, the Rapps filed to sell KPEG to Bellevue Broadcasters, mostly owned by Kemper Freeman and Elwell Case and owners of KFKF at Bellevue; KPEG fetched $1 ...

Radio Stations Disestablished In 1985
Radio is the technology of signaling and communicating using radio waves. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves of frequency between 30 hertz (Hz) and 300 gigahertz (GHz). They are generated by an electronic device called a transmitter connected to an antenna which radiates the waves, and received by another antenna connected to a radio receiver. Radio is very widely used in modern technology, in radio communication, radar, radio navigation, remote control, remote sensing, and other applications. In radio communication, used in radio and television broadcasting, cell phones, two-way radios, wireless networking, and satellite communication, among numerous other uses, radio waves are used to carry information across space from a transmitter to a receiver, by modulating the radio signal (impressing an information signal on the radio wave by varying some aspect of the wave) in the transmitter. In radar, used to locate and track objects like aircraft, ships, spacecraft an ...
