Listeners to KZQM radio in Sequim might occasionally confuse it with the other radio station in Sequim, KSQM.  KZQM is not the same as KSQM, Sequim’s non-commercial educational, listener supported, all volunteer radio station. KZQM does not play the same kind of music as KSQM, what we like to call the home of the best music ever made. KZQM is operated by Radio Pacific, which also owns KONP and KSTI.  KSQM is owned and operated by Sequim Community Broadcasting, a non-profit 501(c) 3 corporation. So it might be understandable there could be a bit of confusion between the two.

That confusion is coming to an end.  Brown Maloney, the owner of KZQM says effective this week, the station’s call letters have changed to KZEG. He says in a news release, “For some time, there has been confusion by having similar call letters as Sequim’s radio station KSQM 91.5 FM.  Therefore,” he says, “it was my decision that changing the call letters would be beneficial to both stations.“
