stations went by the "Radio Ranch" moniker and were full service country music stations. Local news, weather and traffic were emphasized. Lost pet reports were also aired on the stations. On July 30, 2014, it was announced that the E. W. Scripps Company would acquire Journal Communications in an all-stock transaction. The combined firm retained their broadcast properties and spun off their print assets as Journal Media Group. Ahead of the merger, Journal was required by the FCC to divest KFTI-FM, which was sold to Envision in December 2014. KFDI and its four sister stations (KICT-FM, KFXJ, KYQQ, KFTI) merged with the E.W. Scripps Company on April 1, 2015. Scripps exited radio in 2018; the Wichita stations went to SummitMedia in a four-market, $47 million deal completed on November 1, 2018.
