Cumulus Media-Kansas City has moved Adult Hits KCJK (JACK FM) from 105.1 to 102.5, as the station rebrands as 102.5 JACK FM. Meanwhile, Cumulus will launch its Modern Rock station, formerly at 102.5, on 105.1 as “X 105.1, Kansas City’s Alternative.” The station launched last November as 102.5 The Underground.
Donna Baker, RVP/Market Manager for Cumulus-Kansas City, said, “Cumulus Media-Kansas City’s seven-station cluster has experienced explosive growth, up 19.7 percent since last year in total audience (6+ M-Su 6a-12a). All other Kansas City radio groups’ audience shares have declined over the same period. 1.2 million people tune in to a Cumulus Media-Kansas City station every week, making ours the largest radio audience in Kansas City. Against this backdrop, and working with focus, optimism, responsibility, collaboration and empowerment, our team discovered an even greater opportunity for our group of seven tremendous radio stations and the Chiefs Radio Network to serve Kansas City listeners.”
Cumulus-Kansas City OM Lance Tidwell added, “With JACK FM broadcasting from its new home at 102.5 and the simultaneous launch of X 105.1, Kansas City’s Alternative, we are positioned to continue our stations’ incredible growth trajectory. We will kick off the summer with continuous music, concert tickets and cash to celebrate the new home of Kansas City’s Alternative at 105.1. We couldn’t be more excited and our listeners will love what they hear!”
