The impending closing of the acquisition of Cherry Creek Media by Townsquare Media will see multiple Missoula brands relocate to new frequencies.
Alternative “101.5 Alternative Missoula” KAMM Frenchtown will move to 95.7 K239AP Missoula fed by an unknown HD subchannel. KAMM is being donated to Missoula Community Radio, who will move its programming from 105.5 KFGM-LP Missoula tonight.
CHR “107.5 Zoo-FM” KENR Superior will move to 96.9 K245AP Missoula replacing half of the Variety Hits “Max-FM” simulcast with 98.7 KHKM Hamilton. KENR is being divested to Anderson Radio Broadcasting along with Cherry Creek’s competing CHR “Now 106.7” KXDR Pinesdale. No plans have been announced yet for either frequency. 98.7 KHKM is being sold to Legacy Broadcasting, which will add it to their “Today’s Christian Country” network.
Neither shift will take place immediate as Townsquare is informing listeners that the Alternative and Top 40 brands will be online only for a bit as their “new signals won’t be ready right away”.
Townsquare Media will be adding Cherry Creek’s Country “93.3 Eagle Country” KGGL Missoula, Classic Rock “Z100” KZOQ-FM Missoula and Sports “Griz Sports 1450/92.7” KGRZ/K224AA to Townsquare’s Country 94.9 KYSS-FM Missoula, Rock “96.3 The Blaze” KBAZ Hamilton, Conservative Talk 930/99.7 KMPT East Missoula, and News/Talk 1290 KGVO/98.3 K252FP Missoula.
In addition to KAMM-FM and KHKM going to their new operators, Anderson Radio Broadcasting will be acquiring the licenses of 106.7 KXDR, 107.5 KENR, News/Talk 1240 KLYQ Hamilton and Sports 1340 KYLT Missoula to add to their AC “99.3 The River” KQEZ St. Regis.
