Why KJOZ?

Why is Centro Cristiano still holding on to KJOZ? Why don’t they put it on the market? Or is it already on sale?! I’m pretty sure some local church would love to buy it.

I thought this one had to move or modify the transmitter site. That takes a long time to do and is very expensive, particularly for a station with two separate directional patterns.

There have been cases of stations that had to move their transmitter where it took several years to get all the needed permits and then to build and adjust the directional system. In one case, WQBA in Miami, the process took almost a whole decade!

I doubt a "local church" can afford to buy the station and then manage a complicated directional system.

They just bought it .. what makes you think they would want to get rid of something that could make a translator legal ? These questions …

Why would they make a translator legal when they obviously don’t have to?

Also I just listened to the KJOZ TOTH ID and they mentioned KJFI-LP and KJOZ 102.5 La Calle.
 
Needless to say LPFMs cannot be owned by an entity that has any primary-class radio station license (ie: any AM, FM or TV station including Low Power TV) as per FCC Rules and Regulations. LPFMs are one to a customer.

So it should be originating it’s own programming as a LP station, not acting as a translator. It also should not be a source for an actual translator.

@stan
I beleive LPFMS can feed a translator.. I've seen it a few times.

@b-turner i think the entity owning the lpfm is "legally" seperate from the primary class station. take what you will from the word legally in quotes.

Apparently not KCGG-LP in Kansas City KS... They also own 2 AMs (KCWJ and KKLO) and a translator and sometimes simulcast programming. They just have different names behind the LPFM and translator but use the same address.
