KTTH (770 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Seattle, Washington. It is owned by Bonneville International and airs a conservative talk radio format. The station's transmitter is on Vashon Island, while its studios are located in Seattle's Eastlake district.
By day, KTTH broadcasts at 50,000 watts, the maximum permitted for AM radio stations. But because AM 770 is a clear-channel frequency, it must reduce power to 5000 watts at night to avoid interfering with other stations. Programming is also heard on FM translator K233BU at 94.5 MHz.
Bonneville owns two talk stations in Seattle. 97.3 KIRO-FM concentrates on mostly local shows while 770 KTTH airs mostly syndicated programming. On weekdays, KTTH has one local show heard in afternoon drive time, "The Todd Herman Show." Host Michael Medved also does his program from the KTTH studios in the early afternoon, although it is syndicated on the Salem Radio Network nationwide. Other syndicated programming includes Rush Limbaugh, Armstrong & Getty, Mark Levin, John Batchelor and John Gibson. Several programs heard on KTTH moved from rival talk station 570 KVI. (At one point KTTH's slogan was temporarily changed to "Three letter radio is dead," referring to KVI's three-letter call sign.)
