The Bay Area's only classical music station announced on Tuesday that it will become a nonprofit, a move that changes the Bay Area radio landscape.
The University of Southern California, which is purchasing KDFC from Entercom Communications for an undisclosed price, took over the operation Tuesday afternoon. On Monday, the station will move from 102.1 on the FM dial to 89.9 and 90.3.
The move bodes well for the future of classical music radio in the Bay Area, but it comes at a price. In the near future, at least, KDFC's signal strength will make it difficult or impossible for many listeners to receive - especially in the South Bay. Meanwhile, University of San Francisco radio station KUSF, which had been broadcasting on 90.3 since 1977, lost that frequency on Tuesday morning, in a move that blindsided many of its staff and volunteers.
