KKFN (104.3 FM, "104.3 The Fan") is a sports radio station serving the Denver-Boulder area. Operated by Bonneville International (as part of a time brokerage arrangement deal through the Pike's Peak Trust and Entercom), the outlet broadcasts with an effective radiated power of 91 kW and is licensed to Longmont, Colorado. Its studios are located in Greenwood Village, and the transmitter is in Lakewood on Green Mountain. ==104.3 history== The frequency was home to KLMO-FM. In 1988, the station was sold to another local owner and the calls were switched to KQKS and adopted the moniker "KS104". KQKS was home to 104.3 until January 1997, when Jefferson-Pilot (now part of Lincoln Financial Group) moved the calls and Rhythmic Top 40 format to 107.5. After the move, on January 19, J-P placed a classic country format on the signal. But by 2000, they would move that format over to the AM band so they can fill the smooth jazz void that was left open by KHIH after the latter flipped to Top 40 that year. The station adopted the call letters KJCD shortly after the move. In June 2007, Lincoln announced that would put its television and radio stations up for sale. KJCD, along with its sister stations in Denver, is among the properties being shopped around by Lincoln. On March 6, 2008, KJCD changed their format to sports, simulcasting KKFN 950 AM. KJCD changed their call letters to KKFN-FM on March 12, 2008, and again to KKFN on March 1, 2009. On December 8, 2014, Entercom announces that it is purchasing Lincoln Financial Group's entire 15-station lineup in a $106.5 million deal. On December 22, 2014, Entercom announced that it will spin off KKFN to the Pike's Peaks Trust, who will in turn spin the station off to a third party group as part of divesture deal.〔("Entercom Acquires Lincoln Financial Media" ) from Radio Insight (December 8, 2014)〕 On June 26, 2015, the FCC green-lighted the deal, with KKFN becoming part of the Pike's Peaks Trust as it splits from the other properties that became part of the Entercom acquisition. On July 14, 2015, the Department of Justice forced Entercom to spin off KKFN, KOSI, KYGO-FM and KEPN to Bonneville International in exchange for Bonneville's KSWD in Los Angeles to meet ownership limits. Both Bonneville and Entercom operated their new clusters via Time Brokerage Agreements on July 17, 2015.〔https://radioinsight.com/blog/headlines/93470/fcc-approves-entercom-acquisition-of-lincoln-financial-media/〕 On October 12, 2015, Kroenke Sports Enterprises, owned by Altitude Sports and Entertainment founder Stan Kroenke, acquired Wilks Broadcasting's Denver properties, which include Country KWOF, Adult Top 40 KIMN, and Oldies KXKL. Once the sale is approved by the FCC, KSE is expected to flip one of three outlets to Sports, which could see the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, and Colorado Rapids move from KKFN.〔("Kroenke Sports Acquires Wilks' Denver Stations" ) from Radio Insight (October 12, 2015)〕 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「KKFN」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
