940 ESPN Flip

When I said KFIG original 70s AOR stations wouldn't work on KFIG 1430 is because with 95.7 the Fox Covers a lot of that, but they only play like 400 songs, so the new KFIG with a stream in stereo, could do Classic AOR, easy to blue tooth from devise to stereo lol, streaming is saving AM stations I think.

Reading this- does it leave one to think that 1430 is going to just disappear ?
I doubt it. Perhaps they’ll put ESPN on it .
 
I say 'COOL!' .....I mean "BOSS!" And what's to become of 1430? ESPN going there? Just a swap of both signals for the other format- and call signs- 1430 becoming KFIG? (both would be going back to former calls)
They ran it that way for years. I think the ESPN format is pretty cheap to run and the do make revenue, at least from the spots they sell during Giants, A's, Niners, Raiders, Sharks, and Lakers games.
 
From humble beginnings KYNO will be a "mega" station now that they are moving to 940. It can be heard up and down the West Coast at night, along with 1530 from Sacramento and 1560 from Bakersfield. These are the only Central Valley Stations authorized for night-time skywave service.

Dumbest thing ive heard all day.

They arent authorized for night time skywave service..no such authorization exists every station has that to some extent, 940 just has more potential for it

But certain of the AMs that operate on clear channel frequencies have protected night skywave contours. Two of the three mentioned do; 940 is a class B and may not have night protection.

You're right, 940 probably does not have skywave protection. Never the less, that station allowed folks to listen to the Giants games in certain areas where KNBR was subject to adjacent channel interference.
 
I grew up on KYNO and KMAK. Likely one reason I did get into radio. I give JO credit for the effort but agree, the playlist is becoming too broad. Seems like the 63-67 era is being lost to the pre Boss Radio days. Not sure if I’d every want to return to the days when Love Rollercoaster was on a 90 min rotation, but there’s a ton Beatles that isn’t even in their rotation. Anyone think that Bobby Ocean could make an appearance? That would bring back a few moments in time.
 
Do the Dogs have any pull with iHeart on what station in Fresno the dogs are on ? FS would’ve been smart to say go ahead with 1340 but you will also be putting them up on 102.7 or very least 96.7. In Knoxville the Vols flagship is the sports AM station but are also up on 2 FMs including 91K watt 107.7 WIVK all 3 owned by same company. There are going to be a lot of dead spots on this “Valley” network.

HA! Fat chance! I'd say the deep pockets of iHeart put up the highest bid and the bozos at FSU having no clue who they're dealing with went for it. They really would've been wiser to stay with JO even at less $.

I really like what Mike Preston, Bobby Ocean, Mark McKay, and Johnny Malibu are doing with "Streaming Worldwide" JFRC On the internet. Its been online since 2013.

BO does the liners for MOD in Palm Springs. Never thought that he’d make what is essentially an updated Standards station sound so hip. The voice just rocks no matter the format.
