????? Kansas City?s classical music station, Radio Bach on AM 1660, will be going away and replaced with the new ?KMBZ Business Channel on 1660,??reliable sources have told Kansas City Public Relations agency Bottom Line Communications.
???? The station could go ?live? this week with an official start date slated for Monday, March 5.
???? Former KMBZ afternoon talk show co-host and Kansas City radio icon Mike Shanin will serve as the station?s business editor and?host a new show titled ?The Power Lunch with Mike Shanin? from 11am to 1pm Monday through Friday.
??? Radio Bach was known for several years as ?KXTR.??
???? Plans call for the new station to be a business extension of Entercom-Kansas City?s KMBZ brand and will entail a huge amount of cross promotion between the two stations.
???? KMBZ Newsradio (FM 98.1/AM 980) will provide 1660 all of its local and national news updates, breaking news, weather, traffic, etc., while
1660 will provide KMBZ all of its business and market updates and business news.
???? The all-business station is designed to build on the success of KMBZ with programming involving a mix of Wall Street Journal Radio, Bloomberg Radio and local shows with plans to add more local shows between 9-11am right away, and in the future a local afternoon drive wrap up show.
??? Radio Bach has already donated its musical playlist of 3,700 CD?s to Kansas Public Radio at the University of Kansas.
???? ?Kansas Public radio has seven stations and an HD station at KPR2 and they have a broad and modern platform,? says Dave Alpert, Vice President and General Manager of Entercom Kansas City.
??? ?We know classical music fans will be in good hands with Kansas Public Radio.? ?The addition of these classics to our library will help us in some small way keep the spirit of KXTR alive here at KPR.?
???? KPR?s classical music director said in a news release the donation will be a great addition to the KPR music library.
??? ?We?re thrilled that the people at Entercom so generously thought to donate the KXTR music library to Kansas Public Radio,? Mark Edwards says. ?The addition of these classics to our library will help us in some small way keep the spirit of KXTR alive here at KPR.?
