Clear Channel CHR “Hits 96.1” KIXZ-FM Spokane has rebranded as “Power 96.1“.
KIXZ had flipped to CHR from Country in March 2012 and registered a 1.7 share in the Spring 2013 Arbitron ratings. The station features a completely syndicated/Premium Choice lineup of Elvis Duran, Ryan Seacrest, Jackson Blue, and Billy The Kidd.
The station competes in a crowded CHR marketplace in Spokane against Mapleton Communication’s “Now 105.7” KZBD, Queen B Rhythmic “Hot 96.9” KEZE and Adult CHR 92.9 KZZU.
