QUICK TAKES - May 28, 2009
Just as it said it was planning to do last October, KUSC-FM (91.5) has extended the reach of its classical music programming to the central California coast. But not on the station it first intended.
The L.A.-based public radio station, which already simulcasts on outlets in Palm Springs, Thousand Oaks and Santa Barbara, has purchased KESC-FM (99.7) in Morro Bay for $1.2 million and can now be heard throughout the area surrounding San Luis Obispo.
KUSC had said in October that it was going to accomplish that task by buying a station in Santa Maria. But legal complications developed and KUSC pulled out, said Brenda Barnes, station president.
