Minneapolis report: Clear Channel to flip sports KFAN/1130 & talk KTLK-FM/100.3

KFAN, Minneapolis 1130 AM The MinnPost.com's David Brauer says the surprising switch "will happen before the opening of the Minnesota Vikings regular season September 11, and conceivably, early in the exhibition schedule." The NFL team is already simulcast on both KFAN-AM and KTLK-FM, and Clear Channel was already planning to simulcast the college football games of the University of Minnesota Gophers. The flip will put the potentially more lucrative all-sports KFAN franchise, with its strong 25-54 male demos, on a Class C1 signal with 100,000 watts at 922 feet. The KTLK-FM talk format, which replaced jazz KJZI in January 2006, will find a new home on 1130. It runs with 50,000 watts daytime, 25,000 watts at night. Clear Cannel didn't have a comment for the MinnPost about the story.
