American General Media Alternative “Area 102.9” 840 KARS Belen/102.9 K275AO Albuquerque has segued to Active Rock while retaining the current branding.
Now positioning as “Shut Up & Rock”, the move shifts KARS/K275AO’s focus from attacking iHeartMedia’s Alternative “104.1 The Edge” KTEG to Rock “94 Rock” KZRR. While American General Media does not subscribe to Nielsen Audio’s ratings, KZRR was second in the Albuquerque market with a 4.9 share in the Spring 2015 Phase 1 trends and KTEG held a 2.2 share.
