KFXX (1080 AM, "1080 The FAN") is a class B clear channel AM radio station broadcasting from Portland, Oregon, United States. As of 2006 it is owned by Entercom Portland LLC and runs sports radio programming.
The oldest station of this format, and possibly the oldest in the Pacific Northwest region, KFXX began in 1993 at AM 1520, which is now regional Mexican station KGDD. The call letters came from the days as "The X," a Hard rock station. KFXX moved to AM 910 (now KTRO) in 1999 and its current dial position in 2003. Both were part of ownership changes and station signal swaps. On March 19, 2004, KFXX swapped frequencies from 910 kHz with KOTK, which has since become KTRO.[1].
KFXX is the local affiliate of the Seattle Mariners baseball team. It also carries The Dan Patrick Show, and Colin Cowherd and Mike Tirico from ESPN Radio. KFXX stopped carrying The Jim Rome Show (now carried beginning May 12, 2008 on KXL-FM "95.5 The Game") on February 29, 2008 to make room on the program lineup for Dan Patrick, who returned to the KFXX lineup on March 3, 2008 with his new syndicated show.
In its early days, one of its hosts was Neil Lomax, a former quarterback at Portland State University and the St. Louis/Phoenix Cardinals.
