The radio station is REAL 92.3, and has been in existence since 1952. There, it operated as “KFAC”, a classical music radio station until the summer of 1989, where it was bought by Evergreen Media. It was then changed to “KKBT 92.3 The Beat”, and played adult rock, dance music and adult contemporary. The changed station failed, and went through a number of other genres before developing into urban contemporary in 1991. In 1999, the company that owned the radio station merged with Clear Channel Communications Inc. and was renamed “KCMG Mega 92.3”. At this point KCMG Mega 92.3 had moved from playing urban contemporary to urban oldies and finally to AC oldies. The station would not become known as “REAL 92.3” until February of 2015, when iHeartMedia, the holding company of Clear Channel Communications Inc., announced that the station would go back to being urban contemporary.

Effective February 7, 2013, SeaBright Insurance Company (“Seabright”), a Seattle-based insurance company specializing in workers compensation, entered into run-off. In 2012, Enstar Group Limited (“Enstar”), a run-off specialist, purchased SeaBright. SeaBright continues to manage existing claims but no longer writes new or renewal business, which means that premium activity has slowed down. In 2015, a major change occurred when all of SeaBright’s net liabilities (i.e. loss reserves associated with its prior workers comp business) were shifted to an Enstar affiliate, Clarendon National Insurance Company, through a reinsurance agreement. Circumstances that led the company to run-off: SeaBright was placed into run-off driven by weakened underwriting performance associated with reserve strengthening actions for accident years 2007 through 2009, primarily related to increasing medical cost trends. Additionally, SeaBright was facing marketplace challenges associated with its geographic and coverage lines expansion. Seabright has had to deal with significant pressure from its workers comp book developing adversely year-over-year and having to liquidate investments to satisfy claims and expenses. The reinsurance contract with Clarendon did provide major relief but SeaBright still remains a going concern and without premiums coming in and asset base rapidly shrinking, its solvency status as an insurance company remains questionable. The key now is to track the level of credit risk

Shorewest’s private and family owned status was an important factor, based on the assumption it would provide a better culture and more opportunities, unfortunately, when conducting a financial analysis of the company based on common measurement criteria, privately owned has drawbacks.
