How to receive Classic KING-FM with your TV cable

If you live in the Seattle area, chances are your TV cable company also carries KING-FM and you can probably receive cable radio for no additional charge to your current cable bill. Check with your cable company about their current policy regarding cable radio and whether or not they allow customers to hook-up to cable radio on their own.

Hooking up cable radio is not much more difficlut than hooking up a TV or VCR to cable. It's a matter of splitting the cable signal into two parts - a parts list and quick, 6 step how-to guide follow shortly. After splitting the cable signal, connect one of the cables to your cable box or TV and the other to the antenna connector on your stereo receiver or FM radio.

This really is something that almost anyone can do and it will greatly improve your reception of KING-FM if our signal is poor at your location. If you don't feel up to the task your cable company will be glad to hook your radio up to the cable for you - for a fee, of course.
