KFXR 1190 conservative talk.

KFXR doesn't even show up in the ratings, and I see that KLIF has been bouncing around between in the 0.3 to 0.5 share range -- so it doesn't really seem like there's much of an audience that is interested in what is on either station. KSKY does a bit better, but even then it is hovering around 0.5 to 0.8.

It seems that when it comes to political talk, anything that isn't airing on WBAP is just an afterthought.
 
KFXR signal doesn't seem as strong north of Dallas as it used to be. Maybe it's the quality of today's AM radios or I'm having Old Timers Syndrom from the glory days of KLIF.
 
The daytime signal of KFXR is good and covers the whole area quite well. The nighttime signal is the wildest you'll ever see with 12 towers pulling it into a strange shape that covers much of Dallas with an okay signal.

When I worked nights in Garland going north on 75 as soon as you crossed under the state highway 121 flyover it was like flipping a switch. The signal just disappeared. I think part of it up here may be the increase of local and transmission power lines. Lots of AC-induced hum.

AM signals aren't as receivable anymore with the increase of terrestrial noise. It takes more field strength to get over the noise.
BTW, you win for the best avatar.
 
You think iHeart would bother putting KFXR on an HD2/HD3 simulcast like Cumulus does? That might help signal limitations.

i'm still surprised they just flipped 97.1 back to rock instead of just turning it into a simulcast of 1190, but if this incarnation of "The Eagle fails, then that's what will happen next.

Why on earth would they waste the 97.1 signal with a simulcast of 1190? The only thing that could result from that would be discovering that it is possible to get even lower ratings on 97.1 than they got with the Freak. Face it...there is a reason why 1190 doesn't show up in the ratings, and that reason is that there is nothing on the station that gives conservative talk listeners any reason to flip over WBAP. or even from KSKY.

I suspect that they'd sell the station to one of the religious nonprofits before they'd bother to do a simulcast with 1190.
