It's been almost five months now that 1110 AM has been stuck in a loop of instrumental music and announcements sending listeners over to 107.9 FM. A historic, 104-year-old, 50,000-watt signal just discarded like trash. Even the land under its three iconic Blaw-Knox towers is up for sale.
I don’t blame local management. It’s sad, but they honestly don’t know what’s going to happen with 1110 AM, or at least that’s what they tell me, and they’ve done the best they could with the hand they were dealt.
I’ve been trying to get the ball rolling on having the transmitter site designated as a historic landmark so it can’t be redeveloped. Someone may have already beaten me to the punch. I’ve been told a ruling is pending, but I haven’t been able to confirm that. If anyone wants to help with that effort, please reach out. We need to do what we can to save this piece of broadcasting history before it’s gone.
