I heard nothing about this. Should Entercom buy KBLX, maybe they should give the Country music format another try.

Rumor is they will drop the format and fire Kevin Brown and the whole staff to add a second frequency for signal challenged KGMZ

Check out the coverage maps for both KGMZ and KBLX...they are almost identical.  Both have problems in San Jose, so a simulcast of The Game would make zero sense.  The second try at Country would not be a bad idea.  At least they have an exclusive position with revenue no one else competes with.

Has someone (anyone?) confirmed that KBLX is for sale?

Results of the recent bankruptcy hearing that essentially transferred Inner City's properties to YMF Media (believed to be Yucaipa-Magic-Fortress):

Re: the bankruptcy hearing/results: KBLX was not included in the group of stations going to YMF Media, thus making it available.

The news page of Radio-info covers this story (started in this thread):

Entercom bought KBLX from bankrupt Inner City for around 25 million.
