Entercom to Buy KUFX/ San Jose from Aloha Trust

I could also see them trying a 98.5 simulcast.  98 Rock in Sac does really well in the ratings, and that's a format hole in the Bay Area.

How about The Bone (KSAN) 107.7

You know, I am leaning towards a simulcast of KRXQ-98 Rock too. Entercom owns that station and the fact that a listener commuting from the valley to the Bay Area can just leave it on 98.5 and listen to the same station. I remember the days when Sacramento's KZAP & San Jose's KOME broadcast an AOR format so you can literally listen to the same music while driving over the Altamont. As for The Bone, They are owned by Cumulus not Entercom so they can't simulcast there.

I don't think Entercom is that cheap to simulcast a Sacramento station in San Jose, come on

[Truthiness4DaBray]

Is there a chance that CC might move the KUFX programming to another one of their stations?  Could Entercom just be buying the stick?

[kenrayc]

I can see it becoming Active/AOR , like the KOME days, like KRXQ is now, but not a simulcast.

Thats already happening, it's called KKSF 103.7 The Band.

KSJO did not work as active rock, why would it work now? I think they will keep it classic rock

I guess they sort of qualify, but they're still more in the "classic rock" vein.  Not nearly so much as KUFX or The Band (which I consider to be a "rock oldies" station - I don't think I've ever heard anything on 103.7 that wasn't a top 40 hit).  We're still pretty much devoid of a true active rock station that focuses on currents like 98 rock.

I'm saying a Active rock that mixes Classic Rock hard rock and Metal with current Active Rock, Ozzy, AC/DC, Dio, Def Leppard, and Van Halen mixed with Disturbed, Papa Roach, Metallica, and so forth, more current than The Bone.

Kenrayc-

Rock 105.3 (KIOZ) in San Diego does exactly what you're saying and they sound really good!

rock1053.com to listen!

I'm sure that before the station changes hands, CC will promote The Band on K-Fox
