Texas AM Wants To Split Programming On Translator During Pandemic; Fresno AM Pair, Missouri AM-Translator Combo, Keys FM Sold

Split And Sales

BONNIE CHAMBERS has applied for an STA to split programming on Classic Hits KBRN-A/BOERNE, TX and its translator K280GR during the COVID-19 pandemic, arguing that the AM reaches an older audience and the FM a younger audience that does not listen to the AM programming, and a split would allow it to reach the latter with "vital news and information."
