Does the Score finally hit fm
- Thread starter RadioRonnie285

Strongly doubt it’s Houston unless Audacy or iHeart acquire an additional FM signal to run their respective sportstalkers in the market. Won’t completely rule it out, however.
Edit to add: From the RI Bluesky post it would appear it’s a market that currently does NOT have an FM sportstalker. LA? Chicago? (Houston already has basketcase KFNC on FM.)

No one in L.A. has the courage to flip an FM to sports. My guess is Chicago
KLAC is on 98.7's HD2

Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1my first check was for 963thescore.com, for this reason.
I have a feeling that they will end up taking B96 and tweaking it to be a hybrid between its current format and what is on 104. B96 already has a heavy lean on gold, so it would make sense to broaden it a bit further.
I’m checking to see if 1027KLAC.com is registered just in case! 🤣
The chances of iHeart blowing up KIIS for sports are almost non-existent. As we've said before, iHeart has no expendable FMs in LA.
Yup, 104.3 it is.
A little more detail here:

I guess Sonic is the last remaining local host. He's been with the station since 2018. Perhaps he shifts to B96?
WSCR Finally Scores FM Upgrade
Audacy Sports "670 The Score" WSCR Chicago it will begin simulcasting on 104.3 on February 2. Staffers were informed of

I can see B 96 going classic hip hop.
I wouldn’t see this work considering how WBMX is currently performing.
B96 could lean towards Gold Hot AC.
You mean like an updated WJMK?
EXCELLENT and long overdue move!
The Super Bowl happens February 8 this year.
B96 can finally add more hip-hop gold and tap into its heritage more effectively without worrying about stepping on 104.3's toes.
B96 is a far more recognizable brand than 104.3 Jams. Makes perfect sense to retain B96 and kick Jams to the curb.
104.3 is one of the better FM signals in the market, reaching even the SW tip of Michigan with ease.
Will the WBMX-FM calls be returned to Beantown?
