KIRO-FM (97.3 MHz) is a commercial radio station licensed to Tacoma, Washington, and serving the Seattle-Tacoma radio market. It airs a news/talk radio format and is owned by Salt Lake City–based Bonneville International, a broadcasting company owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The studios and offices are located on Eastlake Avenue East in Seattle's Eastlake district.[3]

KIRO-FM starts weekdays with a news block, hosted by Dave Ross with anchor Colleen O'Brien. The rest of the weekday schedule is made up of local talk hosts, including the highest rated local talk show host in the nation, Dori Monson. At night, two nationally syndicated shows are heard, Coast to Coast AM with George Noory and This Morning, America's First News with Gordon Deal. Weekends feature shows on money, health, food and veterans, some of which are paid brokered programming. Nights and weekends, world and national news from CBS News Radio begins most hours.

KIRO-FM's transmitter is on Tiger Mountain in Issaquah.[4] Its effective radiated power (ERP) is 52,000 watts (55,000 with beam tilt).[5] KIRO-FM broadcasts in the HD (digital) radio format.[6] The HD-2 digital subchannel simulcasts co-owned KIRO (710 AM)'s sports radio format. The HD-3 signal airs KTTH (770 AM)'s conservative talk format.
