KMNQ - 1470 was running open carrier last night. Is it time to put that station out of its misery?

AM 1470
- Thread starter Wright County Guy
- Start date
This seems to be the norm for KMNQ, from Wikipedia:
In October 2021, it began stunting with a variety format, before leaving the air entirely in early 2022. In January 2023, it returned, again simulcasting sister station KMNV. The station has experienced periods of silence over its lifetime.
1470 is now off the air.
Does anyone listen anyways?
Thirty or forty years ago someone should have moved the transmitter site farther south of town where most of signal would cover the city proper. If you are in the pattern you would have a decent signal.
Best I can tell they don't have a translator, so either they continue on AM and if they own the land try to duplex from another site and sell the land or do a land "swap" with enough extra cash from the swap to build a new site assuming their existing site has value.
