They just had Gary Hill on KIRO710AM. Great guy.

I was also wondering, who should we be most annoyed with over the state of Mariner broadcast archives: the Mariners organization or KIRO?
I’m thinking it would be KIRO, mostly, as it was years before the now-standard claim “the accounts of this broadcast...” that we hear all the time and asserts the team’s rights to that content. I believe any recordings would have been KIRO’s property. However, I’m sure if someone on the Mariners org had any foresight, they should have been able to strike a deal for them or their preservation.

Who knows, maybe there’s a big batch of reels stashed in a Lucky Lager crate in Danny Kaye’s archives, somewhere.
KVI did the M's to begin with and KOMO for a couple of seasons but KIRO has had the games most of the time.
