Entercom Communications said Tuesday that WAAF 107.3 FM had been sold to Educational Media Foundation for $10.75 million in cash.

EMF will replace the radio station's rock format with "contemporary Christian" programming, the Boston Herald reported.

Entercom said it would air WAAF on its existing HD radio stations, 104.1 HD2 and 93.7 HD2. It will also still be streamed on Radio.com.

WAAF will stop broadcasting at 107.3 Friday. The new programming is expected to start Saturday.

The station lost Greg Hill, the host of its morning show for nearly 30 years, to also WEEI — also owned by Entercom — over the summer.
