Who's Buying What

EDUCATIONAL MEDIA FOUNDATION is swapping KSFQ/WHITE ROCK-SANTA FE and various cash consideration and donations totalling $141,000 to SANTA FE COMMUNITY COLLEGE for noncommercial Variety KSFR/SANTA FE. EMF bought KSFQ from CLEAR CHANNEL and flipped it from Jazz to a simulcast of KSFR in preparation for the swap on JULY 8. KSFR, a class A, has an application on file with the Commission to move to a full class C facility. The college will retain the calls and format of KSFR on the KSFQ facility; EMF will cover the college's tower rent and engineering costs for 36 months.
