KBLS (102.5 FM) also known as Kansas' Best Listening Station is a radio station broadcasting an adult contemporary format. Licensed to North Fort Riley, Kansas, United States, it serves the Salina-Manhattan area. It is currently owned by Manhattan Broadcasting Co., Inc.[2]

History[edit]

KBLS went on the air January 1, 1993 from studios at 2nd and Broadway in downtown Abilene.[3] Morning programming was live with a local announcer. Veteran radio personality John Anderson did the morning show for almost 20 years. Following the morning show, the station switched to the Jones Radio Network via satellite for the rest of the day. For its first three months, KBLS operated as an LMA (Lease Management Agreement) between EBC, Inc. (owned by J. K. Vanier and Jerry Hinrikus of Salina, KS) and Steckline Communications of Wichita. It was subsequently owned outright by EBC.

Morris Communications acquired KBLS in January 2004 as part of a six-station purchase from EBC. Morris sold its stations to Alpha Media in 2015.[4] Alpha then sold the stations to Rocking M Media, which spun off KBLS to Manhattan Broadcasting in 2016.[5]

One thought on “Cannabaceae

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
