Christian music seems to be a big deal on the FM band. There are maybe 4-5 such stations in the Seattle area, including the one at 88.1 that has difficulty reaching the entire metro, but it's stayed on the air for over 5 years so far.... I suppose the fact it's decently funded makes all the difference. Shouldn't be all that different in Spokane.

So one of Spokane's five rock music stations bites the dust... Leaving four of them, KHTQ, KKZX, KJRB and KFOO (the alt-rocker).

Don't forget about the best one there....KPND with it's AAA format. That still leaves five!

KPND's playlist is very light compared to the other four - I personally don't consider it to be a true rock station but it's definitely alternative. Its HD2 is another story (hard rocker "Rock 103")

Yeah, looks like Spokane rock fans are still well served.

KYOZ 1330 + K239CL 95.7 have flipped the switch to Worship 24/7. New format heard this afternoon right outside of Spokane.

Spokane is ripe for another shot at Spanish language radio. Someone like Bustos Media or one of the Tri-Cities Hispanic radio groups could jump in there and make a profit. Metro Spokane, while lagging places like Pasco and Yakima, now sees that demographic/linguistic shift.
