History

Ownership under CSN

100.9 and 100.7 The Zone

On December 10, 2009, the Calvary Chapel of Twin Falls applied to the Federal Communications Commission to transfer the license for the translator to Cumulus Media. In return, CSN acquired 1560am WTOD from Cumulus Broadcasting. The deal was an even trade, no money was exchanged between the two parties.
Once Cumulus Took control of 100.7, The Zone, which had been heard originally on 106.5 from November 2001-June 2009, was relaunched. The Zone, was moved to 94.5-HD3, when 106.5 changed its format to sports the prior year. 100.7 also moved up to 100.9 MHz. The callsign became W265CB. The Zone was still heard on WXKR 94.5 HD-3 as well. On July 29, 2010 W265CB was moved back to its original frequency, 100.7 MHz. Numerous complaints had been received about interference from 101.1 WRIF, from Detroit, Michigan and WMJK, from Clyde, Ohio, which also transmits on 100.9 MHz. The callsign was changed back to W264AK.

100.7 The Vibe
