OPB

Is Air America really leaving Lane County? We just heard today (Nov. 27) that Air America content might remain on the local airwaves despite the pending sale of KOPT AM 1600 to OPB. Sadie Dressekie of Churchill Media tells us Churchill “has been in discussions with a number of parties that are interested in taking over the format and putting it back on KOPT’s original signal, 1450 AM.” The frequency currently broadcasts Deportes Radio, 24-hour sports in Spanish.

Churchill’s other station is the LaX network, broadcasting Spanish language news, talk and music at 660 AM in the Eugene-Springfield area.
