iHeartMedia has flipped Rhythmic AC 95.7 Kiss-FM KSSX Carlsbad/San Diego to
Urban leaning Rhythmic CHR Jamn 95.7.

The flip fills the Rhythmic CHR vacancy in the market created by Local
Media San Diegos Z90 XHITZs move to Mainstream CHR a couple years ago. We
first reported on the likelihood of this change back in March when iHeart
registered Jamn957.com and HipHopSD.com for the station. The station is
being programmed by Rob Scorpio, who will retain those duties at sister
99.1 KGGI Riverside as well.

Pablo Sato and Tati formerly of XHITZ and WPGC Washington DC will host
mornings. Former KQKS Denver night host Mercedes Cedes Howard, who has been
filling-in at KSSX will take the midday slot. Frankie V, who previously
hosted mornings at sister CHR Channel 93.3 KHTS-FM and recently exited
mornings in Boston will return to the market for afternoons. Beto Perez
remains in place at night.

The flip to Rhythmic CHR will flank KHTS-FM against Z90 and CBS Energy
103.7 KEGY. KSSX placed in a 17th place tie with a 2.4 share in the April
Nielsen Audio PPMs.
