Boise State Radio Adds News/Talk to KBSU-AM 730 and KEZJ-AM
1450
Listeners will now have access to talk radio on an AM station, effective
July 2
BOISE — Beginning July 2, Boise State Radio listeners will have access to
news/talk radio on an AM station. KBSU-AM 730 in Boise and KEZJ-AM 1450 in
Twin Falls will transition their daytime programming from all jazz to a
combination of jazz and news/talk.
For jazz fans, the genre is not entirely disappearing from the lineup.
Jazzworks will remain on the schedule from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday through
Friday, midnight to 6 a.m. Saturday and midnight to 7 a.m. Sunday. Jazz can
also be heard on KBSU 90.3 FM from 8-11 p.m. Saturday, and is streamed 24
hours per day, seven days per week at
http://radio.boisestate.edu.
The change comes as Boise State Radio continues to focus its resources to
better serve its listeners. “The AM side of the dial is where many people
look for news and talk radio,” said John Hess, general manager, “ and
because of that, we have decided to make the conversion from a music format
to one of news and talk.”
Shows listeners will hear in the new lineup include “Bob Edwards Weekend,”
“The World,” “On Point,” “Here and Now,” and more. A complete programming
schedule is available at
http://radio.boisestate.edu.
Boise State Radio will continue to broadcast weekend Spanish language and
student programming.
