Suit up and show up: Robert Barrientos is KKFI's new general manager.
Zuroweste's take: "We felt that the offer we gave them of the intellectual property was an incredible one, that this would enhance and improve the overall listenership of KKFI, and I told him I would get back to him if the AM was part of that deal or if that was to be taken into consideration. I checked with my higher-ups and they felt, as I did, that the offer of KXTR and its intellectual property was such an incredible deal that there was no reason to offer the AM property. Those things are very expensive and very limited, so we did not get back to him based on the fact that I told him that if there was any opportunity, I would. So I'm assuming that he took that as a no, and I guess I should call him if he didn't."
But since when did AM become such a hot property?
