We here at KING FM understand the benefit of using MAC computers and appreciate the quality of sight and sound they produce. Here is the information you need to have access to everything King.org has to offer.
In most cases Abacast offers an alternate stream for Mac listeners. You will need to have Windows Media Player installed for your Mac. If you don't already have it installed please visit the links below.
Newer versions of MacOS may need to install the Flip4Mac plug-in for the QuickTime Player.
Once Windows Media Player is installed you should be automatically redirected to the Mac stream when you click a link to launch an Abacast enabled stream.
After that, go to King.org/listen and click on the KING FM 64k Stream option. That will open QuickTime and you are now ready to enjoy KING FM online.
Troubleshooting Information:
Flip4Mac will open all Windows Media data in QuickTime. So when you click on the KING FM window, it will open Quick Time. (Be sure you have not muted the volume on quick time on accident, this is a common mistake.)
The grey bar on the quick time is movable so you can move it back a little if you missed anything or if it lags. If thesound skips, just drag the grey handle back a bit and there will be no skipping (being as it is probably lagging a little bit with the downloading process).
"KING FM continues to be a great supporter of the arts community. Of course, they play great music which supports the audience that cares about classical music. They also reach out into the community and are a presence at cultural events throughout the Pacific Northwest. KING FM supports our cultural institutions in a very personal way and is a constant reminder of the great strength of our music community in Seattle."
Gerard Schwarz, Seattle Symphony, Music Director "The decision for KING FM to move to a listener-supporter format is cause for celebration! This critical step in the station’s evolution proves once again that KING FM has its finger on the pulse of classical music supporters and enthusiasts, locally and globally. Moreover KING’s new mission and strategy will better connect arts organizations and the public through a keen focus on music education and local arts/cultural activities which will contribute greatly to the survival of classical music – an incredible achievement. Drum rolls please for KING FM, its founders, management and staff! Bravissimi!
Lisa Bergman, Executive Director, Icicle Creek Music Center
"Fortunately, King owners have an innovative board, whose members are committed to keeping classical music on the air in Seattle. They really care. I care, and if my sister Patsy were alive today, we’d be together supporting the board’s new plan for restructuring a revenue stream for Classic King. Station operations will be listener-supported. Instead of buying products to validate advertising income for the station, local listeners will have the opportunity to sponsor the broadcasts directly. It makes sense. Listener loyalty is long-lived and local financial commitment will insure that our beloved King will broadcast classical music as long as it serves the community."
Harriet Bullitt
"I’m very excited that KING is making the transition to a listener-supported station. KING has a long history of excellence in producing classical music and arts programming and this transition will ensure that KING continues to be a beacon for classical music into the future. Seattle is one of the strongest public radio markets in the country and I am 100% confident that the KING’s transition will be a tremendous success.."
Brenda Barnes, President, KUSC
"KING FM has been the radio source for classical music in our region for many decades. Seattle Chamber Music Society has enjoyed a very long collaboration with KING FM and its live broadcasts of our Summer and Winter Festival concerts. Thanks to KING FM, thousands of listeners hear our great chamber music programs each night. We look forward to continuing our partnership as KING FM becomes a listener-supported radio station and maintains its commitment to the local classical music scene. We wish KING FM and its listeners many more years of great music on air, and on the internet."
Connie Cooper, Executive Director Seattle Chamber Music Society
