That's because that's what the public hears. No one listens to a budget discussion.
I'm surprised you didn't say that!

The broker for that "Pacific Northwest Exclusive" (a daytimer for $195,000 in 70s dollars) was in this San Francisco building: Hunter–Dulin Building - Wikipedia
I didn't know NBC had had offices there. I used to work just a block away.
Yeah. I only mention them because Nielsen lists them as KSRO-AM.
And, I would imagine since the two FMs are translators, one in Santa Rosa and one in Petaluma, that the 0.4 is mostly happening within Sonoma County---and enough of it to get them a 0.4 in the SF book. Maybe someone south of Mt. Tam's listening on AM, but I can't imagine it's significant.
In their hometown, KSRO is the top rated commercial N/T at a 1.9, not so great. KSFO shows up with 0.7.

Okay, so armed with that information, we can fairly safely take KSRO-AM out of the equation for San Francisco-Marin-East Bay. And that means there are two AMs without FM simulcasts that show up in the San Francisco book---KSFO (810) with a 0.6 and KTCT (1050) with a 0.2.
That is literally it.
34 days and counting....
I suppose we could call it the 560 doomsday clock. ⏰

I mean, you could...but all that happens when the clock hits 00:00 is that literally nothing changes. 560 stays off the air, likely for good. And damn near nobody in the Bay Area knows or cares.
I know it's not always the most accurate source, but RadioLocator.com says KSRO has *three* FM translators -- the 3rd one being on 94.5 FM.
Can't wait for the aircheck.

The funniest thing they could do is turn the transmitter on at 11:59 pm, play a KSFO aircheck of someone (Terry McGovern?) saying "Here's "The Sounds of Silence" and then turn the transmitter off again.
Thanks K.M. I'm a little surprised by 93.3. San Francisco has a Class B on that frequency. I realize S.F. is about 50 miles away. But all of that city's Class B's (plus a number of superpower FM's) are fairly listenable in Santa Rosa. And yes, I know from personal experience, having visited Sonoma County many times.

I looked at the maps and K300AO is highly directional over Santa Rosa itself. Looking at the map for KRZZ, it appears to get no farther north than Novato.
That said, I think I can hear KRZZ with relatively little trouble all the way up near Clear Lake if I use a good radio with the antenna positioned juuust right.
Otherwise, it's mostly static as expected, based on the coverage map.

I just went back and looked. You are correct; I wasn't looking closely, just was comparing maps.
In fact, I just looked at the STA and they actually went silent March 31 of last year, blaming "miscommunication" with their lawyer for the delay in filing. Reason given was "interference from another station" with no detailed information. Same reason given for the STA extension request.
If they notified the FCC that would reset the doomsday clock for another year.
Anybody else here think I was serious?
Another year of silence, another year of the '560' thread!
If the amount of posts on this thread grow much larger, it may meet the actual listening of 810!
