Clint Eastwood offers congratulations to Scot McKay
Carmel radio station KRML, one of the world's most recognizable stations has been sold to Scot McKay, a local Carmel businessman and music enthusiast. KRML was put on the world map by Carmel Actor, Director & Movie Producer Clint Eastwood who, in his directorial debut, played a DJ at KRML in the movie "Play Misty for Me". "I am very excited Scot McKay has bought KRML and will keep it going. Carmel deserves to have this wonderful station that will continue to feature great music," said Eastwood. McKay became interested in KRML in the spring of 2010 after a series of conversations with Eastwood.

McKay and Eastwood previously co-hosted a fundraiser for JazzMaster's Workshop, a non-profit organization that provides free music lessons to children. McKay intends to restore KRML to the local broadcasting jewel it once was with multiple studios locally. "I invite the local arts and business community to join me in this exciting undertaking as I focus on getting KRML back on its feet playing great music, while supporting Carmel & Monterey Peninsula tourism & events," said McKay when asked about his future plans with KRML. McKay credits Charles Chrietzberg, CEO of Monterey County Bank, with helping keep KRML local and out of the hands of a national Country Music syndicate.
Scot McKay is involved in a variety of International and National business ventures, but may be best known locally as the owner of CVAC, Carmel Valley Athletic Club. McKay is also involved philanthropically supporting local charities and as a Trustee of the Big Sur Land Trust.
KRML is available locally at 1410 AM and is streamed 24/7 worldwide over the web at KRML.com
