Sale To USC and Switch To KDFC, KUSF Goes Online-only
On January 18, 2011, The University of San Francisco announced plans to sell the 90.3 FM frequency to the Classical Public Radio Network, which is owned by the University of Southern California. The KUSF call sign and intellectual property will remain with USF, which plans to launch an upgraded online-only station. In addition, USC announced that it had reached an agreement with Entercom Communications to take over the intellectual property of local classical outlet KDFC (102.1 FM), and moved the station's programming and eventually the call letters to the 90.3 FM frequency. Entercom, in turn, flipped the 102.1 FM frequency to a simulcast of San Jose station KUFX 98.5 FM on January 24.
CPRN also acquired KNDL 89.9 MHz in Angwin, and switched it to a simulcast of the new KDFC.
Upon announcement of the sale, KUSF locked its doors, shut down its website temporarily and went off the air.
On February 8, 2011, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted 8-3 to oppose the sale.

Famous quotes containing the words sale and/or switch:
“I hate this shallow Americanism which hopes to get rich by credit, to get knowledge by raps on midnight tables, to learn the economy of the mind by phrenology, or skill without study, or mastery without apprenticeship, or the sale of goods through pretending that they sell, or power through making believe you are powerful, or through a packed jury or caucus, bribery and “repeating” votes, or wealth by fraud.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Children ... after a certain age do not welcome parental advice. Occasionally, they may listen to another adult, which is why perhaps people should switch children with their neighbors and friends for a while in the teen years!”
—Marian Wright Edelman (20th century)
