KMSO's New Look: A Blend of Tradition and Humor
The airwaves of Missoula, MT, have a new sound, thanks to Sticks Media's acquisition of KMSO and KHDV. The station, once silent, now boasts a unique identity, blending Gregorian monk chants with a playful twist. Sticks Media's owner, Todd Nixon, revealed that KMSO will revive its former Hot AC identity, '102.5 Mountain FM', while KHDV will debut a fresh format and brand.
The stunt includes catchy jingles that mimic the chanting style, adding a humorous element to the station's identity. These jingles are designed to both identify the station and poke fun at the programming. You can hear the stunt here: [Insert link].
