Belated Sadness

I grew up listening to WKQQ 16mi west of Seymour, IN. Pretty good listenable signal (98.1 I think, but forget), but i realize a little beyond where i should have been able to receive it. Bring it back (the old WLRS also, yes I listened to that one too). Talk on WLRS?....sacreligious.

Argh, there's a time limit for mods? how quaint

(p.s. been in Dallas for nearly 30 years, came back and its all messed up...but happening there too). Will never forgive the evil thing that happened to 93.7 in Seymour (who can I personnally insult?)
 
But its not the real lrs lrs was alive on 102.3 not 105.1 so talk on 105.1 is okay!!!LRS died along time ago when they flipped lrs to love 102.3 is when they were murdered in 1999. Bringing back lrs to 105.1 never a good idea ever ever ever!!!Dumb suits at bluechip/radio one!!!

Who can be personally insulted? Not sure, but Susquehenna Radio represented (at the time they proposed to purchase the station) that 93.7 would be directionalized to allow 93.9 near Indy to increase power. There was no talk of removing the signal from Seymour. They changed their minds when they discovered that WQKC could be sacrificed to yield another Louisville signal. That's exactly where the blame lies...

I would have tried anything not to sell it to any non-local entity, if any way possible. Especially in rural markets, there's just too high of a risk of these types of shenanigans. They never ever have the interest of the local communities at heart. I realize that the local market saturation is about as heavy as many large cities (especially if you utilize an external antenna, which I always do, even in Dallas), so it isn't like there is an overall lack of signals, just an inability to present Jackson county/Seymour to the wider regional area (106.1 is closest to it probably) with a strong signal...although i was never happy with the efforts of qkc...it was sort of silly and embarrassingly amateurish to me at times (the duck thing). Then again, WJCD originally was always embarrassingly amateurish as well so I was used to it :(
