KHTP (103.7 FM), also known as "Hot 103.7", is a Rhythmic Hot AC-formatted FM radio station in the Seattle, Washington market. The station broadcasts at 103.7 MHz and is owned and operated by Entercom Communications. The station's transmitting antenna is on Tiger Mountain, and operates from its studios at the Metropolitan Park complex in Downtown Seattle.
KHTP is also carried on the following satellite and broadcast translator stations to improve reception of the station:
103.7 FM first began broadcasting in 1958 as KTWR at 103.9 FM. In 1964, they changed their call letters to KTAC-FM and aired a contemporary format. In 1977, they changed their call letters to KBRD ("K-Bird FM 104"), switching to a beautiful music format, and upgraded to a stronger signal at 103.7 FM in 1981. At 2 p.m. on April 10, 1991, it flipped to its long running adult album alternative format as FM 104 The Mountain and the KMTT call letters. The first song on "The Mountain" was Rock Me on the Water by Jackson Browne. The former KBRD callsign is now on 680 AM in Olympia. The station did have some ratings issues for the first couple of years due to its transmitter location at the time located south of Tacoma; this was changed when the transmitter relocated to Tiger Mountain. The station, while it was never #1 in Arbitron ratings books, did very well with certain demographics. However, as time went on, the station suffered a decline in ratings, especially after the introduction of the Portable People Meter in the Seattle market in 2009. Towards the later years of its format, KMTT was usually in the 2-low 3 share range.
