KRAB-FM Radio Station (Seattle, Wash.)

History notes:

KRAB was founded by Lorenzo Milam and operated by the Jack Straw Foundation in 1962. Milam managed the station until 1968. The station was commercial-free and listener-supported and broadcast a range of programming. On the day of KRAB's first broadcast, its transmitter blew up and was rebuilt. The station produced several different music programs which were also distributed by the National Federation of Community Broadcasters. KRAB went off the air in 1984.
