KNX onto … 97.1??
- Thread starter Jstnpspck
- Start date
And the first minute of Sunflower by Post Malone Ft. Swae Lee with the Welcome to FM opener just cutting in 🤦
CBS is also using KCBS for the TV side and TV Streaming on the Paramount+ and CBS News app for TV's as in CBS2 News, CBSN Los Angeles.
LA Dodgers and LA Angels are part owners in other LA radio stations. Their rights are not available.
And checking.....yep, KNX is still on 101.1HD2. 3 spots of the HD Radio Dial 
"News for a new generation."
Kind of like all-sports WFAN New York. The brand is now the FM with no mention of the AM. I suppose the simulcasts will continue indefinitely since there seems to be no other choice but to sell off the AM at pennies on the dollar or just shut it down. A major chain is not going to go leased ethnic or scary fairy tales (religion) 24/7 just to be putting something on medium wave.

...Where it will likely carry on jockless and mostly commercial-free for the 10 people left listening.
If you are signed up to Audacy and/or iHeartradio etc, you would have to share location details, so the advertising content is targeted to the market you are based in. The same goes for VPN's when you use one. The ads are targeted to the market the server is in.
No mention isn't the same as no audience. We did the same thing when I was at KFBK---took the branding down to News 93.1 after a brief period of mentioning the AM second. That's been a good three or four years now, but probably 40 percent of the audience is still listening on AM. Those are the people that won't move. They either aren't in a good reception area for the FM signal or they're way out of the demo and will listen to AM until they die.
The branding is intended to tell people who WILL listen to FM where to find you.
Yeah, I just hit the "listen live" button on the KNX website. Still figured out I'm in Sac.
You mean 97.1 Now Music? That's gone! You click Listen on the web site that's still active, you hear KNX. You think they would switch it over at the same time Now ended on 97.1, but no. News Radio everywhere right now.
The station (and wider network) I work for in Australia is about to launch target advertising, because our group shares a lot of listeners in other markets.
No more "Radio." To emphasize the station's multi-platform distribution, that word was removed from the brand.
Now (no pun intended), it's just "KNX News 97.1 FM."
Yeah. KNX was one of the last in California using "NewsRadio". KCBS branded as "All News" back in 2008. KFBK went to News 93.1" five or so years ago.

KNX isn’t a trademarked brand that ViacomCBS is licensing back to Audacy (which is the only reason why WPHI won’t become KYW-FM, it’s a terribly convoluted licensing agreement). Rather, Audacy owns the KNX trademark outright.
As soon as they can, 97.1 will become KNX-FM.
I used the direct audio link on the Radio-locator page for KNOU, which gave me the local Houston spots.
