callsign_meaning = FuNKKFNK (104.9 FM) is an
active rock radio station licensed toEatonville, Washington and serving the southernPuget Sound region centered around Tacoma. The station's nickname is "The Funky Monkey" (sometimes referred to as "The Monkey 104.9").KFNK is owned and operated by
Clear Channel Communications , which also owns and operates five other radio stations in the Puget Sound region:KHHO (Sports),KJR-FM (Classic Hits),KJR (AM) (Sports),KNBQ (Country), andKUBE (Urban).The station is somewhat anomalous in that it rarely has
disc jockey s hosting segments of airtime, and relies heavily onbroadcast automation . There is one full-time disk jockey, and 3 part-time air personalities do one show a week each. Most songs end with avoiceover identifying the song title and artist, also called a "backsell."Programming
