Curious to know about not just the Tyler/Longview mainstays but Henderson, Carthage, Marshall, Kilgore and other such areas.

Anything New in Good Ol' East Texas?

Well, Jacksonville has a new FM on the way. Class A on 236, 2.45kW @ 160.4 meters. Brought to you by Tomlinson-Leis, it'll have a nice coverage area of Rusk, Frankston, Neches, Whitehouse, and of course, Jacksonville. Tyler will take a good radio for reception.
Chuck is on the hunt for an FM translator for KEBE, too. Hopefully, the open window affords him a chance to jump in.
Up the road a bit, a new class A @ Cuney has piqued my interest. This one, for channel 259 (2kW @ 176m HAAT), is an application sent in by New Wavo Communications of Willis Texas. New Wavo is owned by Huntsville businessman Ben Amato and operates co-channel KVST Willis, which itself has a CP in place to move everything including the COL up 45 to Huntsville while remaining on 259. The peculiar part is that if these two will be in simulcast with one another, to give K-Star a whopping coverage area, then those around Crockett are going to be left out in the dark. There will be a big hole between the two, which makes me wonder what the ultimate plan is for the Cuney allocation. Will a translator be moved in between the two, joining the 99-7 facilities?
Should be an interesting year in East Texas radio...

Tomlinson-Leis....Don't they have a knack for snagging CPs only to sell them? Or do I have them confused with someone else? If they indeed light this one up and since you're saying it will cover Rusk nicely, wonder if they will attempt to fill a void left when Gleiser purchased and moved KWRW to Troup?
Knew Chuck was on a translator hunt. Been following his "Maybe News on KDOK?" thread. Sure hope it happens.
Is there anything in Cuney to support a station? Only think I'm aware of down there is liquor stores. Oh, wait...I may have answered my own question. LOL
Let's hope it's indeed an interesting year.
