History
Hollow Earth Radio was launched on January 1, 2007 as a community-based Internet radio station, operating from the attic of co-founders Amber Kai Morgan and Garrett Kelly.[6] After establishing itself within the Seattle music community,[7] the station was approved for an LPFM broadcast license by the FCC in 2014,[1][3] and after a successful fundraising campaign began broadcasting at 104.9 FM on September 20, 2017,[1][3] transmitting from the station's studios at 2018a East Union Street in Seattle's Cherry Hill neighborhood.[1][3]
Programming
KHUH-LP describes its programming as "a forum for underrepresented music, sounds and perspectives" and "local music, found sound, paranormal encounters, crank calls, dreams, etc."[8][9] In addition to scheduled weekly broadcast programming, the station hosts live music events at its Central Seattle studios.[10]
In May 2018, Hollow Earth Radio played host to some of the interviews that were featured in the KING5 series "Priced Out", which "chronicl[ed] the rising cost of living in Seattle and its impact on middle class families", along with longtime businesses.[11]
