iHeartMedia abruptly dropped the Talk format of 910 KKSF San Francisco this
morning to return the Spanish Sports ESPN Deportes network to the market.

The station is now being operated by Deportes Media via LMA, which had been
running the network on 860 KTRB San Francisco until that station became
Salem Media operated Conservative Talk 860 The Answer on July 1. KKSF had
been running a mix of local and syndicated Talk including longtime KGO host
Gil Gross, Program Director Cory Callewaert and Joel Riddell, and the
syndicated Stephanie Miller and Alan Colmes.

KKSF registered a 0.3 share in the June 2016 Nielsen Audio PPM ratings.

Y100 Savannah Stunting Like A G Thang

Alpha Media has dropped the CHR format on Y100 100.1 WXYY Rincon/Savannah
GA.

The station is currently stunting with a loop of Dr. Dre/Snoop Doggs
Nothing But A G Thang while running sweepers hyping an announcement of
something new launching at 5:00 this afternoon. That will apparently lead
to a flip to Classic Hip-Hop as G100 matching the branding used by recently
launched sister G96.7 WGBL Biloxi. G100Savannah.com was registered this
morning, while the stations Facebook address has been changed to
G100Savannah and temporarily taken private.

WXYY ranked 16th in the Savannah market with a 1.4 share in the Fall 2015
Nielsen Audio ratings. That placed well behind iHeartMedia CHR 97.3 Kiss-FM
WAEVs third ranked 6.6 share. A flip to Classic Hip-Hop will also attempt
to take share points from the other top four ranked stations in the market:
Cumuluss top rated Urban E93 93.1 WEAS-FM and iHearts combo of Urban 94.1
The Beat WQBT and Urban AC Love 101.1 WLVH

EMF Acquires KSLY-FM San Luis Obispo

Posted: 22 Jul 2016 04:30 AM PDT
https://radioinsight.com/blog/headli...n-luis-obispo/



EMF will pay $350,000 to El Dorado for KSLY-FM.

KSLY-FM has applied for a main studio waiver to rebroadcast 91.9 KLVR
Middletown CA meaning that it will become the K-Love affiliate for San Luis
Obispo while 88.5 KLVH will perhaps switch over to Air 1.

Original Report 7/15: The sell-off of El Dorado Broadcasters Central
California assets continues as the company has agreed to sell 96.1 KSLY-FM
San Luis Obispo to Educational Media Foundation.

KSLY-FM dropped its short-lived Country 96.1 SLO Country format at the end
of June and along with sister 101.3 KJRW Los Osos-Baywood Park went dark,
while sister 107.3 KURQ Grover Beach flipped from Active Rock to Regional
Mexican as Gold Coast Radio began operating it via LMA. No purchase price
has been released yet.

EMF already operates its Christian AC K-Love network on 88.5 KLVH San Luis
Obispo, so KSLY will likely join its Christian CHR Air 1 network. Perhaps
with the KJRW calls recently parked on 101.3?
