Thank you Kong, for bringing back coverage of seafair events while the other major stations ignored them.  Seafair is and should be the hilite of summer events in Seattle, and greater Seattle. As a senior that remembers the passion of parades, thunderbirds, and the unlimied hydroplanes, I applaud you.  Thank you again! 208.53.103.172 (talk) 02:15, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Not sure if the article should say this or not, but the Telecommunications Act of 1996, among other things, put statutory limits on how long construction permits could be extended by the FCC while the station remained unbuilt. Thus, it helped to force KONG (and many other long-permitted UHF stations) to get on the air with some sort of programming lest their permits expire. The agreement with KING may have predated the final passage of the law, that would require more research, but certainly the two stations' owners would have been aware of the law moving through Congress. Broadcasting & Cable would likely be a good source for this but I haven't done an archive search to confirm. 207.180.169.36 (talk) 01:30, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
