Another Move-in for the columbus market

[xmusicmatt]

could Kool 101.7 wnko move into columbus,

Too close to Springfield (WKSW, also on 101.7)...

Radio One is moving WKSW to near Dayton on Channel 268A which is 101.5, thus I am willing to bet WNKO will be allowed to move near Columbus.

the poor guys on WNKO's First Adj (101.5 -- WOBN Westerville) will have to suffer with splatter on their little 28 watt signal, WNKO will more than likely approved to move. FCC since they relaxed the rules on moving COL there has been a big increase in folks wanting to move.

Columbus the land of MOVE-INs. 105.7, 93.3, 103.5, soon 102.5, then 106.7 request for move in, and 104.3's request and now 101.7!

Columbus the land of MOVE-INs. 105.7, 93.3, 103.5, soon 102.5, then 106.7 request for move in, and 104.3's request and now 101.7!

And most of them JUNK Class-A signals. Tampa and Atlanta get 100,000 watt move-ins, we get CRAP 6,000 watt signals. How lucky we are.

Trick Magnet points out that, "Columbus has to be winning the mid-major market rim-shotter move in of the decade award."
So true, and that situation seems to be an extension of the original problem, namely Columbus "winning" the "who can get the most shafted on big signal allocations" competition many years ago.

Re Dirty_Harry's important observation, even smaller Indy has had some HIGH-POWERED move-ins, with WZPL the one that comes to mind offhand. There are move-ins (Columbus) and then there are MOVE-INS (Atlanta, etc.). The latter is what counts, and Columbus is a real also-ran there. The closest we've come after 40 years is 93.3, and look what we got out of THAT.

In xmusicmatt's rundown I'd count 105.7 a bit differently from the others, since -- unlike the others -- it's been targeting Columbus from the time it signed on as the Power Pig in Marysville.
