KMIH 88.9 The Bridge Returns as The Exclusive Broadcaster of Seafair Weekend

Mercer Island, WA, July 30, 202 - As one of the Pacific Northwest's most celebrated summer traditions returns, KMIH 88.9 The Bridge, Mercer Island High School's award-winning, student-run radio station, is once again proud to be the only radio station providing live Seafair coverage throughout the entire weekend.

From Friday, July 31 through Sunday, August 2, KMIH transforms into Log Boom Radio—your soundtrack to Seafair featuring the best summer hits, live event coverage and everything fans need to stay connected to the excitement on and above Lake Washington.

Listeners can once again enjoy legendary Seattle broadcaster Mark Christopher's iconic live play-by-play and color commentary of the Unlimited Hydroplane races, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and all the action in between. For generations of Seafair fans, Mark Christopher's voice has become synonymous with Seafair weekend, bringing every thrilling moment to life and making listeners feel as though they're right on the shores of Lake Washington.

Throughout the weekend, KMIH's student broadcasters and staff will keep listeners informed with Seafair news, event updates, community features and music that captures the spirit of summer.

One of the highlights of the broadcast is the official Blue Angels Air Show, a narrated program that follows the Blue Angels throughout their performance. Whether you're at the log boom on Lake Washington, watching from the shoreline or listening from miles away, the broadcast provides expert commentary and explains the precision maneuvers, formations and breathtaking action happening overhead.

"Seafair is one of the Pacific Northwest's most cherished traditions, and we're proud to continue sharing it with our community while giving our students the opportunity to be part of a professional, live broadcast," said Natalie Woods, Broadcast Media Teacher and Community Outreach Coordinator for KMIH 88.9 The Bridge. "From Log Boom Radio to the hydroplanes and Blue Angels, our students help bring this incredible weekend to listeners across the region and beyond."
