Any relation to the late Jim Nelly?

Could 95.5 go Classic Hits? Given that KORT-AM and K-HITS are also the same?
KUJJ is satellite AC currently; KDZY is Real Country w/ SRN news at the top of the hour.

Jim Nelly of course owned KUJ Walla Walla back in the 70s, so it would be wild if Nelly Broadcasting had some relation.

Yes....it is his son that is the owner of Nelly Broadcasting.

Inspirational Radio will only have 790 KSPD and its translator when the KBXL sale goes through.
I believe the translator's not attached to the AM license.

Hopefully the sale will go through and no one says "whoa Nelly!"

I had a phone conversation a few months ago with the current owner of Nelly Broadcasting by phone because of some mutual friends we have.... hes been in radio awhile, smart guy and loves the business it seems

I wonder if they are planning to sell KSPD as well.

 

[boiseengineer]

The 94.5 translator can be sold separately from the AM for probably more $$$.

Hopefully, no one says "It's getting hot in herre/So take off all your clothes...."

Nelly has taken over. 98.3 loses the Superstar Country branding and is now 'Big Country 98.3 KDZY'. The Project translator on 94.5 has flipped to a simulcast of KDZY.
95.5 has slightly different branding, it's "The Big Star FM". Similar format as before.
The 92.3 translator in Riggins for KORT-FM has also gone back to the air.

 

[crainbebo]

I take it back. STAR FM is not the same AC format as before. It's definitely in the realms of Adult Top 40. Songs like "luther" by Kendrick Lamar which would never see the light of day on a soft rock station. Very much tuned into 1995-2025 music for a younger 25-40 demographic.
KDZY is adding RDS too.
