Chad Boeger’s Pinnacle Media will launch Sports ESPN Wichita 92.3 The Fan
KKGQ Newton/Wichita KS on Monday, June 14.

Boeger, who heads Union Broadcasting and its Sports stations in Kansas City
and Louisville, acquired KKGQ from Rocking M Media for $623,000 in April.
The deal helped settle the legal battle between Rocking M and Envision
Broadcast Network dating to the 2017 merger of then-Envision owned KKGQ
into Rocking Ms Wichita closer. Rocking M agreed to sell its entire cluster
in 2019 to Allied Media Partners, however liens placed on the stations by
Envision were unable to be cleared and Envision locked Rocking M Media out
of their studios located at Envision’s headquarters leading to the sale
collapsing. The former Red Dirt Country Kansas Country 92.3 has been
operating as Country 92.3 The Brand when on the air since then.

The new format will create a format competitor to Audacys 1240 KFH/97.5
K248CY. Shane Dennis, who had been co-hosting the 9-11am show on KFH, has
jumped to KKGQ to host from 12-2pm. The KKGQ lineup will also feature
simulcasts of two programs originating at Unions 810 WHB Kansas City. The
Border Patrol with Steven St John, Nate Bukaty and Jake Gutierrez, which
airs from 7-10am in Kansas City will see its final two hours air in
Wichita. KKGQ will also carry the final half of The Program with Brad
Porter from 4-6pm.

ESPN Radio programming including Keyshawn, JWill and Zubin from 5-8am,
Greeny with Mike Greenberg from 10am-12pm, and Max Kellerman from 2-4pm
will air in all other dayparts.

Monday the 14th, Ill start my own show on 92.3 The Fan on ESPN Wichita.
Giant all-sports stationExciting time for me and Ill debut at the
@theCrestviewCC ahead of the @WichitaOpen
