http://www.fresnobee.com/2012/01/11/2679486/peak-broadcasting-kmjs-owner-files.htmlPeak Broadcasting, owner of KMJ (AM 580) radio in Fresno, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
Company officials blame a slumping economy and declining advertising revenue as the reasons for striking a deal with creditors. They say, however, that there will be no disruption in their operations.
The company that operates 10 radio stations in Fresno and Boise lists liabilities of between $50 million and $100 million.
... The filing is expected to reduce Peak's total secured debt of $93 million by 60%, said company spokeswomen Rivian Bell.

It would be awesome if some group bought them out and put on some progressive voices.

30 freaking years of HATE RADIO. hate women, hate people of color, hate liberals, hate peace activists, and the list goes on.
I grew up in Fresno and saw this hate radio station influence the people in the central valley.
they are the only talk radio station and drove Fresno into the gutter.
this bankruptcy probably just means they can reorganize. but I wish it would take them out and some small investor group comes in and starts a progressive talk radio station. ... I can dream can't i ?

I was just thinking that the fact limpballs and Blechh are millionaires - with a taxpayer-owned platform to spew their hatred, lies and bigotry - is proof there is no sane "god." If God really exists or cares about us, he or she'd strike those cretins mute. Or inspire them to duct tape their own mouths shut.
But I respect your right to credit whom you choose
People are tired of the hate, and ratings have been tanking for the crap radio forced on us on the airwaves WE own. Can't sell ads when no one is listening anymore! May all hate radio bleed money and die...
