Radio Disney to be shuttered, KRDC to be sold

[TheBigA]

Apparently Disney decided to move their content from 1110 AM to Sirius XM as Disney Hits according to this article.

Although 1110 was Disney Country.

True I heard 1110 switched back to Radio Disney for some time before another stunting though.

Check the dates on that... they are from decades ago. There is apparently an error in the way the FCC has placed that information in the hierarchy. There is no sale on record yet.

My guess is that until 710 is moved to the 1110 site, there will not be a sale and the land may be involved in that sale with a lease-back to ESPN. If I were running the two AMs for Disney, I'd dump 710 and keep 1110 for ESPN; the new 710 facility is a loudly barking dog.

I knew there was an Infinity Radio that is now known as Entercom/Audacy I just didn't know if there is another group called Infinity as a CP holder that we just didn't verify yet though in the link I posted.

The station is being used for overflow Ducks games. Also had some basketball earlier this year. They simply fired the old legal ID. Probably not thinking much of it.

So far no buyer. They had hoped to have this done by next month. Looks like it’s taking longer than expected.

I’m still surprised they don’t simply simulcast ESPN Radio programming for the time being while setting up the diplex and using it for the conflict games.

We have a failure to communicate here. I was responding to the final sentence of your post, when you asked what the Ducks' option would be after 1110 is sold and 830 needs to pre-empt a game.

Spring of 2019 some Ducks games wound up on 710 AM (if no Lakers or Angels games) and 1090 AM.

1110 AM Pasadena is now simulcasting 710 Am L.A.

That will give a boost to the theory that ESPN will make a permanent move to 1110 and the soon-to-be-diplexed-and-downgraded 710 will be sold.

Certainly possible. Even if that's not the plan, simulcasting 710 is the simplest and cheapest way to keep 1110 on the air pending a sale.
