The deal was approved by the FCC on November 1, 1989, and the transaction was consummated on December 19, 1989.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Application Search Details (BAPLH-19890727HC) )〕 The new owners had the FCC change the station's callsign to KMYX-FM on January 8, 1990.〔 By that point, the station was broadcasting a "soft rock" format featuring adult contemporary hits of the 1970s and 80's. In July 1993, Bakersfield Radio Partners reached an agreement to sell this station to Adelman Communications, Inc. The deal was approved by the FCC on September 2, 1993, and the transaction was consummated on October 1, 1993.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Application Search Details (BALH-19930719EE) )〕 The format switched once again to country, with the monicre "Thunder Country".

During its four-year run "Play 103.9" did well, despite competition from Rhythmic rival KISV ("Hot 94.1"), who they decided to take on after KKXX-FM flipped formats three months earlier in August 2004. Indeed, when KBDS went silent in November 2008, they were experiencing their highest 12+ Arbitron ratings to date. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KBDS」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
