Ken Schram is a Seattle, Washington news and radio broadcaster. Best known as the former host for local-affairs show Town Meeting and KOMO 4’s evening news segments called “Schram on the Street.” For several years he hosted a radio show, The Commentators, on KOMO Newsradio with conservative John Carlson. That show was discontinued in September, 2010, and starting September 20, 2010, Schram and Carlson each began hosting separate, new shows on the same station, with Carlson on from 9:00AM to Noon and Schram from Noon to 3:00PM.[1]Schram is also known for his personal award, the "Schrammie",[2] which he gives out on the air to "underscore what I think are among the worst of bone-headed decision, and/or the most appalling of asinine behavior", usually to local or regional newsmakers. Ken Schram has compared public breast feeding to public urination.[3]

After a 35 year career, Ken Scram was fired from KOMO 4 and Radio on December 7th, 2012, citing cutbacks to full time employees.[4]
