Formal Application Filed for KABC Move to KWKW Towers

P

pjc1961

As has been known for awhile with the impending sale of the land around its towers (scheduled to close by March 2016),
KABC has formally applied for "minor changes in the KABC facilities" that would move their towers to the 1330 KWKW site.

https://licensing.fcc.gov/cdbs/CDBS...?appn=101686576&qnum=5120&copynum=1&exhcnum=1

The story appeared in the 10/14/2015 Tom Taylor Now Newsletter linked below (4th item from the top of the column):

The change should result in less power going towards the Inland Empire + Orange County at night.
 
Well, that should complete KABC's demise. They're already below a 0.5 in all three of the main demos (18-34, 18-49, 25-54) in all dayparts.
 
Co-located KFO. WTF? And about that new AM in Culver City...think it'll ever get on the air?

This is a better pairing than Cumulus' Washington DC move of WMAL to the WSPZ site. That one is a real haul from the existing WMAL site, plus the two stations are separated by a mere 60khz.

And so the strip mining of Ancient Modulation transmitter sites continues...bet there is more diplexing on the horizon.
 
Let's face it...squatting on the land forever wasn't going to improve ratings. They had pretty much topped out a long time ago. So they might as well take the value from where it exists, and leave the bones behind.

I really think this is the future for all of AM unless the FCC either stops it, or makes good on its promise to revitalize AM.

Click to expand...

This won't change the frequency of the station though.. just the signal pattern (slightly)
