Casual Observation:

KFBK seems to be positioning themselves now as “Sacramento’s News Radio”. Prior they have been using “News 93.1”. Could be nothing.

They are also notifying listeners the Caldor Fire is threatening their transmitter and the FM signal may be lost in the upcoming days. It sounds like they plan on temporarily simulcasting on 92.5.

My thoughts are with the people who are affected by these horrific fires in Northern California.

Both the transmitters of KFBK-FM and KVMX-FM are at risk.

Back a few years ago, the Carr Fire in northern California completely burnt to a crisp a transmitter site near Redding housing several Results Radio stations..... burnt to a crisp as in barely any rubble even left.

I think most people still listen to KFBK on AM

I was under the impression that AMs that simulcast on a full-signal FM quickly find all but their oldest listeners moving to the FM. That's certainly the case when sports-formatted stations do so, so why would news radio be any different?

True. Majority of radio listeners under 50, don't know AM even exists.

I've been gone a year and a half, but well over half the audience was listening on FM. I doubt that's changed other than to increase.

I listen up here in Alaska on 1530... lol. its the most distant signal thats also consistently reliable. Some nights it pounds in so strong and clear, I can tell Sacramento is a PPM market because that metallic echo from PPM Encoding equipment and Telos' Voltair is present.

A good example of a well reasoned transition to FM was made by KSL more than a decade ago. They started with "KSL 1160 and 102.7" and then gradually inverted to the FM first and after several years they went with 102.7 only.

I am assuming that they traced the AM and FM usage, and adjusted when the time was right for the full transition to FM.

I tuned in at Yellowstone a few years ago. It's a monster. You're right about the Voltair.

KFBK did essentially the same, dropping all mention of the AM....I wanna say three years ago.
