KNPT (1310 AM, "Newstalk 1310") was a radio station broadcasting a news–talk format. Licensed to Newport, Oregon, United States, the station was owned by Yaquina Bay Communications, Inc., and featured programming from ABC News Radio and Westwood One.[1]
History
KNPT signed on June 28, 1948,[2] and was first licensed on February 2, 1949.[3] Thomas R. Becker's Yaquina Radio sold the station and KNPT-FM 102.5 to Charmar Broadcasting (led by Charles F. King, a former general sales manager for KPAM-AM-FM in Portland) for $1 million in 1979.[4] David Miller's Yaquina Bay Communications bought KNPT and KYTE (102.7; the former KNPT-FM) from Central Coast Broadcasting for $331,798.12 in 1995.[5]
KNPT, along with its sister stations (KNCU in Newport, KBCH and KCRF-FM in Lincoln City, and KWDP in Waldport), shut down on December 31, 2023.[6][a] The closure followed the August foreclosure of the stations' studios, which were sold to Oregon Coast Bank in a sheriff's sale on December 5.[6] The Federal Communications Commission cancelled the station’s license on January 8, 2025.[8]
