Another CC "Shocker"!

KUFX aka K-FOX started at 94.5 then moved to 104.9 then to its current spot at 98.5. I am surprised that CC didn't move the KUFX call and K-FOX moniker to 103.7 instead of calling it "The Band"?

agreed -- but that would've, y'know, made sense.

I'll be shocked if they don't move Greg Kihn to "The Band"; he has a following and he's garnered a rep as being right-of-center politically, so all those Fogheads who complain that KFOG's Morning Show is "too lefty" (but who aren't fans of Lamont & Tonelli-style potty humor) will have someplace to go.

Sorry, dad! Actually, I tried signing on to Radio-Info.com ... it dragged for about ten minutes, so I went elsewhere. I'm apparently easily distracted. Why, just a few minutes ago, I...

Oooh look! Something sparkly!

Is that why KLOK sold. To raise $$ for KUFX? Move the spanish format to 98.5?

THE Spanish format? Does this mean you think that there is just one "Spanish format"? Spanish language formats go all across the board from pop to country to romantic music to various flavors of talk. There should be plenty of room for all kinds of "Spanish formats," no?

Personally, I hope they go with a Catalan format, although Andalusian has great appeal, as Spanish formats go.
 
I realize San Jose is part of the San Francisco market but..... could there be a legal challenge to using "K-Fox" verses "K-Fog" already established in the same city and on frequencies that close with formats that close?

I don't see how - despite the one letter difference in the spelling, the word "fox" does not sound like the word "fog." Now if they had called 98.5 "The Fog," that might have been cause for a legal challenge.

Rhetorical question: can the owners of K-Fox sue the owners of The Wolf because their brands are both from the canid biological family?

I believe KFOX was on air with their format (at whichever frequency) before K-FOG bought 97.7 as a repeater for 104.5 San Francisco.
 
I believe when KFOX was at 104.9, KFOG got some sort of legal action to stop them. They said people would be confused with 104.5 KFOG and 104.9 KFOX!

There was legal action. KFOG lost.
