The iconic KNX News announced an FM signal Monday. In a release, the Audacy-owned station said KNX will now be heard on 97.1 FM, simulcasting on KNX 1070.
KNX has been broadcasting in Southern California for more than 100 years and operates as the area’s only 24-hour local news and traffic station.
“With spoken word audio consumption at an all-time high, this move allows us to significantly upgrade the existing KNX brand and create a news destination for a new generation,” said Jeff Federman, Regional President, Audacy.
Audacy is the No.1 local news platform in the country, operating more than two dozen news stations across the U.S. Its award-winning news portfolio reaches over 16-million listeners monthly via broadcast, digital and connected devices and delivers the highest weekly reach of all-news listeners in 26 markets nationwide.
“KNX is a powerful and trusted brand in this market, and we look forward to delivering the same award-winning content on crystal-clear FM radio,” Federeman added.
