Alpha Media files Chapter 11

Post by Lester The Nightfly » Tue Jan 26, 2021 1:17 am

Alpha Media, parent of KINK, KXL, files bankruptcy as media industry shakeup continues

“Our core business continues to perform well despite current market challenges,” said Bob Proffitt, Alpha’s CEO. “We will continue to invest in our talented teams to foster the unique culture that has been key to Alpha Media’s success.”

While Bob Proffitt has spoken, his close associate No Proffitt apparently has the last word.

Because the story is sourced out of Portland Oregon where Alpha is headquartered. Hence, Everywhere Else

Speaking of KINK... Alpha has absolutely destroyed it. Pathetically small playlist for a supposed AAA.

Yeah, KINK was truly one of the great West Coast FM's. If you were building a model of what made for everything you wanted in a late 60's through the 90's FM AAA you'd do well to base it on what KINK was doing at the time. For that matter KXL was pretty much a model for an AM hard news first/general talk station too. Now they are both unlistenable, as the Alpha ledger would seem to indicate.
