Boise’s jazz-and-news AM is going away on July 15, as Boise State University sells its only AM, KBSU (730). July 15 is when the LMA begins with buyer FM Idaho Co. LLC, doing business as Impact Radio Group. It’s led by Wendell Starke. They’re getting an AM with 15,000 watts daytime and 500 at night, and Boise State no longer needs the facility. It’s running the typical tandem of public radio services on its two full-power FMs – news and talk on KBSX (91.5), classical on KBSU-FM at 90.3. As for the jazz on KBSU-AM, the school may feel it’s got that covered with the Jazz Works full-time stream on the HD-2 channel of KBSU-FM, and of course online. The deal is for $165,000 cash, and Boise State is using the Exline Company as its broker.

The station is currently airing a loop of Micheal Jackson's 'Thriller' with the spoken legal ID of KINF-AM Boise.. Audio available at the link..

Speculation about the format of the former KBSU-AM is a News/Talk station that's aimed towards Business Talk and a simulcast of La Ponderosa 100.7 FM or 1380 The Bull out of Ontario.
I think a Nostalgia station would be kinda cool. Can Impact operate the former KBSU-AM as a Non-Commercial station?

The license has been "modified" to commercial.
The web address http://newsradio730am.com has been registered by Impact Radio Group. "Newsradio 730 KINF" is the image. TRN Radio Network talent Laura Ingraham's website lists 730 KINF as an affiliate carrying her show from 10am to 1pm. Also confirmed as of Monday, The Phil Hendrie Show coming back to Boise from 11pm-4am on NewsRadio 730 KINF!
FCC seems to think it's still KBSU.
It would seem as if the sale of KBSU-AM was a pretty swift deal. Does Impact even have the studio space for another control room set-up? Who is doing the pattern changes and transmitter logs for this station while it runs on auto-pilot?
It would also seem this effort already lacks creativity. All someone would need is a PC with an Internet connection, an audio card and a couple of basic scripts to automate TRN's Four Web Streams to get some programming on the air.
It would seem a more appropriate loop on the air would be Chubby Checker's 'Limbo Rock'...
