“Hot 105.7 & 100.7” (KVVF/KVVZ) in the Bay Area might have a format change as well.
I’ve been listening to the station for a while and “Reggaeton” by J Balvin and “Volver Volver” by Vicente Fernandez have been playing on a loop.
On their Instagram, they posted a video saying “Tune in Monday @ 12 noon”.
