Original Report 7/6: Is a rebranding in progress at Country 104.3 KSOP Salt Lake City?
In recent weeks the station has dropped its “104.3 The Cowboy” branding for the generic “104.3: Utah’s #1 Country”. Meanwhile parent company KSOP Inc. has registered a number of domains for a new moniker.
The domains are Z104Country.com, TheZ1043.com, CowBull1043.com, Wolf104.com, WolfCountry104.com, WolfCountry1043.com, and UtahsWolf104.com.
In one of the most radioed markets in the country, KSOP is currently in-between Citadel’s “K-Bull” 93.3 KUBL and Simmons’ “101.5 The Eagle” KEGA for the contemporary country audience in the Salt Lake City market.
