Clear Channel's December 1 flip of KGBY (92.5) from hot AC into a simulcast with news/talk KFBK (1530) encourages Entercom to fill the hot AC format hole. "Feel good music" KBZC had been doing rhythmic AC only since September of this year. Here's how Entercom describes its replacement, as of noon today, Pacific time:

"Star 106.5 is a radio station specializing in playing a variety of the greatest hit songs from the early Millennium through today. Turn on The New Star 106.5 FM and you'll hear your favorite songs from artists you know like, Pink, Nickelback, Kelly Clarkson, The Fray, Daughtry, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Rob Thomas, Coldplay, John Mayer, Katy Perry, Jason Mraz, Train, Adele and too many others to mention here. To make your first listening experience even more fun, we're featuring 10,000 songs in a row commercial free."

Before KBZC's rhythmic AC format, it had been "Totally 90s." Many locals will recall 106.5 as the longtime home of alternative rock KWOD. The Sacramento Board of Radio-Info.com is talking about the change from Buzz to Star. Check out the Star 106.5 website.
