was no format change involved. It was likely that Clear Channel Communications (now iHeartMedia), the owners at the time, wanted to park the KMJO call letters temporarily. On January 1, 2006, KCNL dropped alternative rock and flipped to Spanish. It was named "La Romántica" for a couple of months, but was later renamed "Enamorada 104.9". Ratings for the station had dropped from a 3.4 share to a 1.3 share during that time. Because of this, KCNL announced the return of the alternative rock format in late February 2007. The station relaunched on February 28, 2007, with "Beautiful Day" by U2 as the first song in the resurrected Channel 104.9 format. After 11 months without airstaff, on January 22, 2008, "Joe" returned to host afternoons. On September 18, 2009, KCNL switched to the "La Preciosa" Spanish-adult hits format. On March 2, 2010, Clear Channel Communications sold the station to Principle Broadcasting Network (San Jose, California) for $5 million. KCNL changed to the "iFM" Spanish-language variety format. On Saturday and Sunday nights from 8 pm to midnight, KCNL aired "Save Alternative," which also aired 24 hours a day on an HD2 channel and online at www.savealternative.com. According to Radio Survivor, on March 30, 2012, Principle Broadcasting Network sold KCNL to the University of Southern California for $7.5 million. On May 2, 2012, it was announced that the Spanish-language format would end on Memorial Day (May 28), 2012. On May 20, 2012, "Save Alternative" ceased broadcasting on KCNL-HD2. On May 25, 2012, the call letters were changed to KXSC and the format to classical music, broadcasting programming from KDFC to the South Bay and the Peninsula areas. The change took place three days earlier than originally planned.
