K-LOVE to Enter Baltimore Market

K-LOVE is preparing to launch in the Baltimore market for the first time through the acquisition of 100.7 WZBA/Baltimore (100.7) and two FM translators from Shamrock Communications.

According to a release, Shamrock will sell the Westminster, Maryland-licensed Class B station, along with 100.1 W261CD(FM) in Baltimore and 107.5 W298CG(FM) in Bel Air, to the Christian contemporary radio network. An FCC application is expected to be filed.

WZBA-FM operates at 100.7 MHz, with 25.000 kW at 689′ HAAT
W261CD-FX operates at 100.1 MHz, with 0.002 kW at 305′ HAAT
W298CG-FX operates at 107.5 MHz, with 0.250 kW at 177′ HAAT.

Educational Media Foundation’s K-LOVE network has signed an agreement to acquire WZBA(FM)/Westminster, Maryland, along with translators W261CD(FM)/Baltimore and W298CG(FM)/Bel Air, from Shamrock Communications, Inc. An application for FCC approval is now being filed.

K-LOVE, Inc., the buyer, is a Tennessee-based nonprofit organization led by CEO Tom Stultz. The ministry owns and operates a nationwide network of radio stations, with K-LOVE and Air1 signals serving listeners in all 50 states.

Upon completion of the transaction and FCC approval, the acquisition will mark K-LOVE’s entry into the Baltimore market through the 100.7 FM signal and its associated translators.
