A lot sooner than I thought.

Wonder how long they will keep classic rock on a subchannel. Maybe cheaper to use a music service or just end it.

the question of KBAY moving to 98.5 and not 102.9 is finally answered once everything is finalized

The implication of Lance's post is that it might not be. Another shuffle or two could be around the corner.

KFOX to 102.9? Then again, why not just move it now?

On-Air staff contracts is the reason for the move to a sub-channel?

Wonder what the next move is.

The implication was that KFOX to 98.5 HD2/99.7 HD3 was the first step. There's no implication there's only two steps or more.

No. KUFX has three personalities. Two of them track in addition to being on KOIT.

Thank you for letting me know. I didn't know.

Classic rock on an HD-3 channel? That's what... 32 kilobits? Ouch!!

San Jose has lost so many rock and alternative stations over the years. Looks like 98.5 might soon be joining 104.9, 97.7 and 92.3 unless Connoisseur has a surprise up its sleeves.

(Please bring back KOME!!!)

But KMVQ has good coverage in the Bay Area core while KUFX is riddled with multipath in many of those locations, such as parts of Oakland. So this might actually be something of an upgrade for KUFX as far as the audio is concerned.

Unfortunately these stations have no purpose without the passion and music that created them. They are moments in time. In truth, very brief moments in time. Today, over 50 years later, they're better memories than actual radio stations. Same with KFOG. Once the context was gone, so was the station.

And updated as KBAY does begin to promote it will move to 98.5 on Wednesday...

Sources indicate the move is being rushed to prevent another Country competitor from possibly launching in San Francisco.

Wow that set off alarms around here!

Bobby Bones had appeared on KBAY in its early days. I bet they'd love a clearance in market #5.

 

[rx8driver2]

They need to update the 94.5 website. The 98.5 website has been updated.

Emily on 94.5 mentioned the change during a break in the music.

Country stations have come and gone in San Francisco, is there any real desire these days for a full market signal?

It's become the new CHR. The demo is very sellable, even though the 6+ numbers are small. A lot of it appears to be 18-34.

That could be why it won out over the Fox and classic rock.

 

[MarkW]

102.1's ratings and revenue are in the toilet. I think Audacy would consider a flip to Country if a void existed in the market.

This is very sad. My favorite music station is basically going off air. It’s the station I heard every day in Swinging Santero’s woodshop class unless the Giants had a morning game we’d listen to the game. Gonna miss KFOX

 

[Weiserguy]

The cognoscente continue to listen to KRTY.com; wouldn't you love to know how their cume and equivalent share compare to Country KBAY after the year or two they've been on?

I just spent a few minutes streaming it, and they sound very good for a station that lost its FM station four years back. (It's not my choice of music, but they've kept it going this long, so they apparently still have a listener base.)
