2 FM's for Sale

I was just in Phoenix and I heard KIKO on 96.5 with a strong signal. Either the translator is silent or it’s rebroadcasting KIKO AM

If that's the case, it still doesn't help them that they're using a canned syndicated oldies format when competitors are locally programmed.

It’s not doing the canned oldies format all the time. The other day I was listening and it was now being branded as “Awesome 96.5”. It was playing more 80’s and was not oldies at all.
 
John Low may be in the right with his his battle over the 96.5 EMF translator. Doesn't a Class C FM have signal priority over a translator? Even if KIKO wasn't first on that frequency. Problem may be finding any listeners in areas of interference who would be willing to fill out the interference complaint form and submit to the FCC.
 
days ago, on facebook I saw a comment from a friend that univision is looking for engineers for Phoenix. for a new project in Spanish.
 
KilowattKat it is correct. Translators and LPFM stations are classed as Secondary. All others are classed Primary. A Primary station can move at will (if possible) and take out or displace a translator or LPFM.

Promise you, its not any of the Desert Valley stations, they would want a lot more than 1.5 million! Plus they have more than 2 FM's. I know a broker that was trying to sell two rim shot FM's who have different owners. KRPH Morristown on 99.5 that has been off the air more than its been on the air, paired with KIKO-FM Claypool on 96.5. One on the west side of the metro and the other on the east side of the metro to create full market coverage,, even though that wouldn't be totally true. Only other guess might be the two Sierra H Broadcasting stations, KZCE 101.1, and KAJM 104.3, but I would guess they might want more than 1.5 million as well. So who knows. But it sure isn't 94.9/95.1.

I thought John Low was in an ongoing fight with Vic Michael over that translator. IIRC, K243BN might still be simulcasting K-Love.

According to Radio Insight, Vic Michaels is selling 96.5 K243BN Laveen to George Kimble’s Media Sales LLC for $50,000. Moving the translator to 95.9 in Cave Creek with KIKO FM as the originating signal.

Is Laveen even a real town? How is it a COL? I thought it was part of Phoenix.

A.) translators and lpfm's have no city of license coverage requirements, like AM's and full power FMs have to cover their COL with a certain grade of a signal.

b.) if no one challenges a city of license filing, it will sail through really

Census designated places can become cities of license. They need not be incorporated. All you need is a post office with that name on it. Laveen's ZIP code is 85339, and that's all that is required.

As pointed out correctly, translators and LPFM's don't have any city of license coverage requirements. You can pick whatever town or area you want to serve. Even multiple towns. The best one is John Low's K247CF licensed to Payson. While Payson is a real community, the translator has absolutely zero coverage of its so called city of license transmitting from the Usery Mountain in the East Valley.
 
There was a LPFM in Georgia licensed to Frog Town. There was no town called Frog Town. There was a road by that name so the road name was used. It was accepted.

Isn't there one that is now licensed to Delaware that originally had it's CP based in Wyoming?

1 in Nvc and 1 in Wy.. were licensed operating stations, and used a loop hole that allowed them to move to Nj, one serves philadelphia and one serves NYC because NJ no logner had any VHF signals and that was the loophole
