Tacoma.FM and Victory Music's Antique Sandwich Open Mic

August 31, 2010

When Clover Park I-91 FM KVTI flipped the switch in June to abandon a popular local format in favor of programming piped in from afar, one local iconic casualty was the long standing Tuesday night live broadcast of Victory Music’s Open Mic from the Antique Sandwich, 51^st & Pearl.

Tacoma.FM and Victory Music announced that beginning on Tuesday, September 7^th at 7:00 PM the live weekly broadcast will now be heard on Tacoma.FM www.tacoma.fm. We are in the beginning stages of a pending agreement to forge an ongoing relationship for the broadcast.

Tacoma.FM Founder/Director Ken Moultrie said “We are thrilled to keep this 21 year tradition going and add it to our local programming line-up. It’s exactly the kind of local programming and support of the local music community that Tacoma.FM is about, so it’s a great fit for us.”

Victory Music says “We are grateful to Ken and to Tacoma.FM for recognizing the community benefit of broadcasting Victory’s weekly grassroots musical open mic. Through this partnership our performers at the Antique Sandwich can continue to share their music on the airwaves. We are excited about this step into online streaming audio!”

Both Tacoma.FM and Victory Music are seeking sponsors for the live broadcast. Any business or individual interested in supporting local music in Tacoma and the live weekly broadcast should contact Lynette at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
