Fans of Pride Radio were confused and frustrated by the abrupt change.

"Sports radio? Sigh.... Change is bad," said one commenter on the station's Facebook page.

"What happened to pride radio?" said another.

iHeart Media owns both KFAN and Pride Radio.

In a statement to City Pages, iHeart said that sports fans here "are very passionate and loyal, and we believe KFAN Plus will resonate well with our listeners. Listeners can continue to enjoy Pride Radio programming anywhere they are on Pride Radio KDWB-HD2 or iheartradio.com."

KFAN's regular programming on FM 100.3 will continue.
