Christian station KVTT signing off after 34 years

I would assume that 1110 would return to a Classic Country Format.
I think the Tejano format was leased out.

Agreed that DFW NEEDS a classic Country Station.
The Closest two are 92.1 Farmersville and 1400 Greenville.
And Both of them don't cover the entire metro.
 
Those are probably some good choices for an AM station here, billy, although I don't know how successful they'd be. It wouldn't surprise me to see brokered ethnic programming on 1110.

Not that it necessarily had anything to do with the failure of KVTT, but I noticed that they're having trouble with the final details of the power increase to 50,000 watts. It has to do with tower spacing and such, and they're having to keep the power at around 26,000 watts while things are worked out.

Put up a good antenna, and you can hear 92.1.

There are a couple of others, KCLE 1460 Burleson and KBEC 1390 Waxahachie. Neither of them have spectacular signals over Dallas County but KCLE is solid in Tarrant County and they have a CP to upgrade from 5,000 to 11,000 watts daytime. At night KCLE has decent coverage over most of Fort Worth and Arlington, but KBEC is a non-factor.
 
They're testing their signal by broadcasting classic country on here.
 
A fulltime Classic Country with a good signal in Dallas would be great ! 1190 has a good selection during the hours that they play music. Heard that Drunken Country Classic "I've Got This Drinkin' Thing" on there Sunday evening. They regularly play Waylon, Willie, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, etc. (No air personalities however, except during morning drive.) 92.1 (Farmersville) seems to always be music (except when have have a ball game on) They & 1190 have news at the top of each hour. ;D (Bring back the 20% rule.) But 92.1's the signal over Dallas is usually not strong enough to listen to. Haven't tried 1400, (unless they've upgraded, they're 1kw from Greenville) , where I live it's probably drowned out by electrical noises. Anywho, a fulltime Classic Country with a local grade signal in Dallas would be wonderful.

Classic country would be good, even if it is a daytimer. And yes, once they get the green light for 50,000 watts (39,000 critical hours) 1110 will have a city-grade signal over virtually all of Dallas County, along with most of Tarrant and Collin County. But fulltime, not a chance.

1110 as a daytimer would be great. Most of the hours that 1190 plays music are in the evening & overnight hours.

Look forward to the upgrade. The Mighty 1110. (Guess that only sounds right with 1190.)
Wonder what all they're protecting on 1110 at night.

at the moment They are Probably protecting KFAB From Omaha.
Thats The Closest 1110.

I believe they have to protect KFAB. I'm glad they went back to Classic Country instead of the Mexican format, or was that brokered?

The KVTT calls would be nice for a 50's/60's oldies format - you could call it "K-Vette" or "Corvette 1110".

On classic country on 1400 Greenville: Cumulus filed a STA last week to take both KGVL 1400 and KIKT 93.5 Greenville silent...
https://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/w...xt=25&appn=101386198&formid=910&fac_num=21598

Both were still on the air today, but it looks like that might not be the case for long...

It's still designated as a "Clear" with two dominant stations: WBT, Charlotte and KFAB Omaha. Both stations are designated as Class A's (formerly I-B before the breakup of the clear channels). www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/amclasses.html

An objection filed by WBT about a year and a half ago is the reason KVTT will have to reduce their power down to 39,000 watts during critical hours.
Actually, I'm surprised KFAB didn't fight the upgrade as well.
 
KGVL (1400 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a classic country format located in Greenville, Texas. The station is currently independently owned after being sold by Cumulus Media.
KGVL is on the AIR!!! Cumulus filed the wrong paper work with FCC.
 
Thanks for the info. KFAB came to mind after I wrote reply # 33. Years ago, I used to listen to it some at night. Didn't know about WBT.

Nope. Cumulus had an agreement to sell it and the proposed buyers had a LMA to program it. The sale didn't consummate and the LMA ended June 30 with Cumulus back to operating them July 1. Cumulus applied last week to take them dark pending FCC approval.
