Do we know what replaced Soul 73 KKDA-AM?  Who bought the station?

[Ryan Williams]

I saw this yesterday. Looks like the buyer is a group named SKR Partners run by Kimberly Roberts and Scott Kim (maybe that is what the "SK" stands for?). It doesn't appear they currently own any other stations. The purchase price according to the FCC filing was 1.9 million.

I am in shock and sickened at the same time. On the flip side, this is a golden opportunity for another AM to take up the slack...

Well Buc, I don't think that is going to happen.  I don't think there is any value in the demo that KKDA used to appeal to. 

So where is UTA Basketball going to end up on now?

I am in shock and sickened at the same time.

Likewise...when I moved to Dallas, KKDA quickly became one of my favorite stations, especially Cuzzin' Lennie and The Wolf. Thankfully, I still have my red on white Soul 73 t-shirt to allow me to remember the good times and great listening it provided.

I agree fellas. I just hope that this station doesn't keep the KKDA calls. I would be pissed to see that!

[radi0avenger]

UTA will stay there for now. And no, not keeping the call letters.
