He will, and he is :)

KCBC's move was actually a side effect of a move on the FM band. The 
96.7 station that had been licensed to Manteca (KMRQ, if memory serves) 
figured out that it could significantly improve its signal over Modesto 
if it moved its transmitter site. But moving its transmitter site meant 
it would no longer put a city-grade signal over Manteca, so it needed a 
new city of license. But 96.7 was also the only station licensed to 
Manteca, so it couldn't move without replacing that "first local 
service" in Manteca.

That's where KCBC came in. With a bit of a power tweak, it could change 
city of license from Riverbank to Manteca, and Riverbank was a city of 
license that worked for 96.7's new transmitter site, so the swap was 
made, KCBC became "Manteca" and 96.7 became "Riverbank."
