family radio's website still lists 106.9 KEAR as theirs, and infinityradio.com does not list anything about a new freq.property in SF, I wonder how much longer B4 the switch is made, I'm sure their is a lot of paperwork to file with the fed's and all:).

The application is still marked "Accepted For Filing" on the FCC website.

Actually, there are three applications involved:

* The transfer of the main KFRC broadcast license
* The transfer of the 3KW auxiliary facility
* The application to change KEAR-FM from non-commercial to commercial status

Even if the applications got approved tomorrow, nothing changes at 106.9.

Why?

The 106.9 purchase agreement has a programming agreement attached to it. If the sale to Infinity is approved, and closes, before the end of the Oakland A's season, Family Stations will continue to program the station. The programming agreement has an automatic termination date: at 11:59 PM PT on the final day of the A's season.

So, if you're looking for a day when Infinity starts stunting or programming 106.9, look at the A's last game. :D This, of course, is tied to the A's contract with Infinity for KFRC/610, which is now being operated by Family Stations. The reason Infinity didn't hang onto THAT station, of course, is because it needed to get it out of the way for the purchase of KOVR/13 in the Sacramento TV market.

Well, there is the whole thing about playoffs.

But considering how poorly the A's are playing, Infinity can likely set October 2nd in concrete.

If it looks like the A's won't make the playoffs, I wonder if they'll set October 3 as the "go" date -- that's a Monday -- which would also allow Family Stations to go the entire Sunday on 106.9, then do the changeover at midnight on Monday morning.

Too bad the change-over can't happen at three in the afternoon...what a hoot that would be! But it won't matter anyway because Family will give their listeners plenty of notice of the change. Just like they did with KEBR-100.5
here in Sacramento back in the day.
