In addition to Amaturo Group’s suburban Los Angeles 92.7 trimulcast shifting to EMF Broadcasting’s Christian CHR “Air-1” on Friday night, the network debuted just to the north in Santa Barbara.
97.5 KRUZ, which was traded by Cumulus to EMF for 103.7 KXPC-FM in Oregon, dropped its Modern AC format at midnight for EMF’s Christian CHR programming.
Cumulus retained the rights to the KRUZ call letters and has parked them on the former 1060 KOAI Van Buren, AR for when That station is currently silent. 97.5 switched to KRUZ-FM on November 15, but will gain new calls when the sale to EMF closes.
