I want my Bone Mama back! (relevant to this 101~Five thread, but irrelevant to most everyone else now)

I had dinner with her a few months ago up in Seattle along with Nick Francis. You can catch Mary hosting on Jazz24.org often, and she also hosts shows on KPLU.

More to think about:

A request for KZON dated 06/09/2016 has been filed
by RIVIERA BROADCASTING, LLC.

Any predictions on where those calls will end up?

I think they should change their call letters to KONC Koncert 101.5 and play classical music....

don't you mean klassical music?

KALV sounds a little too much like calf. A move to classic country perhaps to steal the 3 listeners from 99.1 in Mesa? But Flagstaff holds claim to Kalf Country.

Mesa had KALF 1510 when that station signed on in 1962. IIRC, it was a country station.

KALV~AM is licensed to Alva, OK. That makes sense. KALV~FM sounds like it should be an alt rocker in Las Vegas....or a mama bovine unit who just calved a calf.

Farm Radio. If that includes country music.....

So it looks like Hot 97.5 is using KMVA and KZON (103.9) now.

That may or may not be the final location of the call sign. It's being parked there; whether or not it becomes its permanent spot depends upon something else which isn't absolutely certain.
