K-LOVE Inc. is expanding its presence in the San Jose market with the acquisition of the license for 94.5 KBAY/Gilroy, CA (94.5) from Connoisseur Media for $2 million. The purchase will give K-LOVE a third full-powered FM signal serving the San Jose area.
Connoisseur CEO Jeff Warshaw says, “We were approached about selling our frequency to K-Love, Inc. who want to expand their Christian offerings in the San Jose market with the addition of the 94.5 FM frequency. We found a way to do that but retain our KBAY-FM country format.”
Currently K-LOVE has KJLV/San Jose (95.3), KWAI/San Jose (Air1) 97.7 and Spanish “Radio Nueva Vida” on 91.9 K220BV San Jose.
