KNPT (1310 AM, "Newstalk 1310") is a radio station broadcasting a news–talk format. Licensed to Newport, Oregon, United States, the station is owned by Yaquina Bay Communications, Inc., and features programming from ABC News Radio and Westwood One.[2]
History
KNPT signed on June 28, 1948,[3] and was first licensed on February 2, 1949.[4] 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.[5] 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.[6]
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.[7][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.[7]
