Another heritage talker is making the move to FM with the announcement that CLEAR CHANNEL will flip Hot AC KGBY (MY925)/SACRAMENTO to a simulcast of Talk KFBK-A on THURSDAY (12/1).
"Today is a milestone for SACRAMENTO broadcasting as KFBK expands to the 92.5 FM frequency to better serve the local community. The void for quality, local and full service news and talk on FM has now been filled. This will give a younger audience access to one of the most influential stations in, not only, SACRAMENTO but all of NORTHERN CALIFORNIA," said VP/Market Manager JEFF HOLDEN. "KFBK has demonstrated leadership over the past 90 years and it continues with the same dedication and progressive nature that makes it unique. KFBK will now reach the nearly 70% of the market that doesn't tune into the AM band."

Yeah, I saw that "younger audience" comment, too....
And I thought, "Younger audiences can't figure out how to tune a freakin' AM RADIO ?!?!?!?!"

The younger audience is AM challenged as it is, to them, Ancient Modulation. But in truth they and us older listeners are often AM compromised by Microwaves and all of those cute curly light bulbs that are making our environment so much better. Unless you consider that the mercury contained in them which will make your living room a toxic waste cleanup site if you are unlucky enough to drop and break one of them. :

I'm thinking they could do like KMJ 580 and KMJ-FM 105.9 in Fresno and eventually split off with different talk shows on the FM.

... hearing angry old white guys rant about our President. :
HEY! I resemble that remark!
Latest marketing trends say that 60 is the new 40, 50 is the new 30, and so on.
So somewhere within the 18-to-34, or 18-to-49, or 25-to-54 which are yet to be adjusted, there's room for you yet!
Yes it is starting out nice, a solid young imaging Voice and sounders, however the engineering staff has some work converting the AM to FM, audio tricks, cheap microphones and processing worked OK for AM but On FM is sounds terrible, Ed this morning sounded overmodulated at times and Amy was to soft, Pat Walsh sounded like he was in a baseball dugout and they need to move the traffic guys out of that corner and put them in a studio, It need some adjustments and I am sure it will with time
I hope they will do some creative programing with different shows on AM and FM we need some additional Local Talk, Too many issues in the Sacramento Community
to have only 1 hour daily with John

I am no engineer but the sound quality of the KFBK-FM broadcast I heard this morning was the worst I have ever heard on FM. The quality of sound put out by the carrier loop on AM on KDVS when I was there in the 60's was better. Did they decide to flip yesterday or is like every else with Clear Channel and there is no money to put out a quality broadcast. Oh well I am from the era when there were two local stations here in Sacramento broadcasting local talk not the syndicated stuff of today. Never listen to KFBK and I love talk radio.

I guess those of us who worked in radio in decades past remember when quality -
in content, in transmission, in production - were at least a consideration at some stations.
Isn't it pathetic that a so-called industry leader would put out such substandard crud?
I guess pride wasn't factored into CC's latest budget.
