| Even after a court-monitored election for a new board of directors, Santa Rosa's non-commercial and bilingual radio station KBBF remains deeply divided as it struggles to survive.

In a bit of broadcasting license legerdemain, KBBF has agreed to swap its official FCC-registered legal hometown in Santa Rosa with Sinclair Broadcasting's KSXY-FM (now broadcasting as Y98.7, an adult top 40 station) in Calistoga. KBBF attorney Gregory Wonderwheel explains what the change means for the station.
Wonderwheel adds that the payment from Sinclair to KBBF will help the noncommercial Spanish-language station pay for some repairs and improvements that were ordered after the City of Santa Rosa annexed the property where the KBBF studios stand.
