In response to listener requests, KONP Radio is returning to talk programming in the evenings.

On Sept. 28, the “John Batchelor Show” returned to the North Olympic Peninsula airwaves, replacing the John Tesh “Intelligence for Your Life” music program.

“With the addition of our sister station, Strait 102.1 providing a full-music format, we felt it was time to move KONP back to providing news and information programming full time,” Todd Ortloff, Radio Pacific, Inc. general manager, said. “Batchelor’s program provides very interesting interviews and insights from people around the world about national and world events of the day.”

“The John Batchelor Show” features a multitude of distinctive elements. Batchelor’s themes cover every detail — from military battles, presidential campaigns, planetary exploration and Hollywood politicos to his own international travel.

KONP broadcasts from Port Angeles on AM 1450, FM 101.7 and online at KONP.com.
