Nah, they were all the third one š¤£
If I didnāt know any better, I would have thought KKBQ was a station in podunk, not Houstonā¦ but clearly the low effort that has been put into the programming makes them money, so no need to change it.

Just like 96.9 FM Raleigh š
K Love is 109 percent national network but they do live personalities over the air like skip Amy mornings.

When I moved to Houston in 2001, KTHT was Hot 97.1, a CHR with a full live air staff. It was the best CHR that you could never hear. It's not like Cox didn't try with that signal. But when the signal doesn't cover enough of Houston to sell as more than in combo, running at a lower overhead makes the most sense.
Inside source? Guessing 92.9 HD-2 is the most likely, though would RO move the current Texas Country format to HD-3 or just drop it?
Do you know if they're planning on keeping The Eagle's HD2s running?
Yes, it is an inside source. It's the CM at Cox Houston.
Andy Hudack, retired engineer at the Eagle, posted that on FB today. Public knowledge
Exactly what I thought would happen
I had a feeling they would do this
Havenāt heard anything yet
Donāt bother holding your breath. Appears nothing will happen until the sales of 92.1 and 97.1 by the Sugarland Station Trust to the new owners are approved and closed. We could see two to three more months of the current formats.
The FCC already approved the sales... EMF will likely do an LMA to put programming on it early like they did with 105.3 KXXF..
The sales of KTHT and KROI from the Sugarland Station Trust to EMF/SBS are still pending approval by the FCC. The KXXF sale was approved about a week ago, though I have not seen a notification of consummation.
I wouldnāt completely rule out LMAs for both KTHT and KROI but thatās not indicated so far.
I could definitely see EMF getting an LMA for KTHT, but I'm pretty sure SBS usually waits for the sales to close so they can kick their formats off
Really? They can go ahead and do the LMA first and then file for the conversion.. I don't think they filed for KXXF to go non-commercial yet.. But EMF took over programming almost a month ago
