Another FM move-in. Maybe.

I couldn't find any mention on the board, but it happened back in January: KNID 99.7 Alva applied to change their COL to Mustang. Although they'd be downgrading to a Class C2 (running 21,000 watts ERP at 777 feet) their city-grade (70dBu) signal would cover a fair portion of the Oklahoma City market: http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/getattachment_exh.cgi?exhibit_id=466430

Kinda looks like the coverage map for KTUZ. Obviously that's better than some others we've seen, but is it enough? And of course, the big question, I suppose: is this really necessary?
 
The former KTSH in Tishomingo was going to move into the Oklahoma City metro but lost its license after the FCC decided something to the effect of it filed a fraudulent application. KNID, I seem to recall, was one of the biggest protesters of the move. About 10-15 years ago, it would have been sad to see KNID leave Enid. However, it hasn't superserved Enid for quite some time, and I suspect it will stay around on a lesser stick as that's what happened the first time it was moved into OKC!

It looks like it may be a little less than KTUZ's signal, but, like you said, it's relatively comparable. KTUZ apparently makes decent money for what it is, and 99.7 should definitely be more competitive than KOJK and KINB. As for whether or not its necessary, your guess is as good as mine. OKC has fewer stations than most cities of its size, but some would say other markets its size are a little overradioed.

One little check on an app stating antenna failure and a call to some pretty powerful people complements of Mr. Clean/Dr. Evil and there was hell to pay..

Mr. Clean/Dr. Evil serves himself. Forget the market. He has.

MUCH better than K-Joke or the hairdryer on half speed from the northern banjolands...

After we hear whatever pathetic format Mr. Clean/Dr. Evil parks on it while searching for his next sucker to pay Brink's Truck payments each month for it's use we'll know how unecessary the move truely is.

Don't look for anything compelling to show up at 99.7. I have faith in how pathetic this market's players program. Those willing to pay Mr. Clean/Dr. Evil's ransom for it won't program it worth a damn. That's a given.

One more signal of rot... Oh JOY!

It's a shame that Hirem is NOT a TRUE broadcaster. The station in Tishamingo--same frequency--was on its way to move to the same area. Hirem--owner of KNID--sent engineer after engineer to Tishaamingo to explore possible problems with the site. A site that is in the middle of BFE. Needless to say, Hirem has NO credibility with the OAB or other broadcasters that are in the business for the love of radio. It is a matter of time until he gets the move-in.[EDIT]
