News of the former KSTN-FM: EDUCATIONAL MEDIA FOUNDATION's SAN JOAQUIN BROADCASTING CO. has been granted a change of community of license for its Contemporary Christian KLVS (K-LOVE)/STOCKTON to LIVERMORE, CA. ... The FCC's action also grants a waiver of shortspacing rules as applied to second-adjacent CUMULUS Rock KSAN (107.7 THE BONE) and CBS RADIO News KFRC-FM (simulcast of News KCBS-AM)/SAN FRANCISCO for the community of license change, since the move does not require a site change.
