In its filing with the FCC for the acquisition of seven Christian AC stations from Salem Media Group, K-Love Inc. (formerly Educational Media Foundation) has revealed what network each station will carry.
Four stations will join the Christian AC “K-Love” network: 102.7 KBIQ Manitou Springs/Colorado Springs, 94.9 KLTY Arlington/Dallas, 103.9 KKFS Lincoln/Sacramento, and 95.5 WFHM Cleveland. The other three will join Contemporary Worship “Air 1“: 104.1 KFIS Scoppoose/Portland, 104.7 WFSH Athens/Atlanta, and 95.9 KFSH La Mirada/Anaheim. K-Love Inc. will begin operating all seven stations via Network Affiliation Agreement on Saturday, February 1.
The Salem stations have begun informing their audiences of the upcoming changes. KLTY is planning special programming for its final day on January 31. Additionally it will have a “Goodbye KLTY” event at a church on Saturday, January 25.
INSTANT INSIGHT: As they prepare to absorb the Salem stations, is K-Love close to another multi-station/multi-market deal with another commercial station group that the company has made previous deals with?
