CP for 1120 AM in Coral Springs

[Ai4i]

What is the latest with it?

Say it ain't so!! I just kudo'd KMOX for their massive footprint, even in this area!

Maybe they'll relay 880 the Biz for that area? They could call themselves "AM 2000"! (880 + 1120)

CP GRANTED 7/7/11 9.5 KW DAY,6.7 K.W. CRITICAL HRS, 1.1KW NIGHT 5 TOWER DA

Those FCC polar plots show that their day and critical hours patterns will cover a lot of swamp and at no time will they overlap much of anything with WQBA on 1140.
Site will be just north of Sample Rd and east of the Sawgrass Expressway.
Any thoughts on programming?

Oops, this darn PDA does it again!
Wish I could delete after double posting!

Think this CP is owned by Alex Langer?? The Florida man who's 'revived' and rebuilt a handful of AMs in the Northeast?

Now that's funny! With all the zoning restrictions Coral Springs has you know those 5 towers won't be in the city limits! They have got to be kidding, AM radio in South Florida died years ago, they just never bothered to bury it.

 

[Ai4i]

...those 5 towers won't be in the city limits!

Study these two trees, the ones that look blue-gray from this sat view.
You can barely detect the buildings next to them, you can not see the barbed wire fences surrounding them or the the wires going into the bases of them.
The one over here in the middle is much taller than all the surrounding trees.

BTW...Sunny Isles Beach operates a TIS station on said frequency.

Who is n his or her right mind would put an AM station on the air these days?

^ This, but I guess enough AM's are making dough with brokered radio; and if I were a betting man, I'd say that that's the road they'll take.

That, or just an effective KMOX jammer.

Alex Langer from Boston has a CP for this and wants to use the call letters of Boston's legendary (but now gone) WFNX alternative rocker.

 

[Ai4i]

Looks like they will cover Coral Springs, Margate, Coconut Creek, Parkland, Pompano Beach, Deerfield, and Boca Raton well, day and night. We would have gone for a bit less day/CH power and directional away from the Everglades.

Got wondering about 1120. Been a while since anyone mentioned it. Found current 2013 info here and here regarding a change in community of license for:

-- LANGER BROADCASTING GROUP, LLC, Station WBUR, Facility ID 161056, BMP-20140226AFN, From CORAL SPRINGS, FL, To DELRAY BEACH --

If you google “Langer Broadcasting WBUR” several links to stories pop up. This one particular link (as all the other articles in the from the google search) tells you about Langer Broadcasting Group LLC has agreeing to buy WBUR’s AM radio signal and tower in West Yarmouth, Mass.

Some recent FCC documentation from July 2014 is here.

So, looks like new calls and city of license for 1120 AM.

 

[AMRocks]

how can they be WBUR when there is a WBUR-FM (a non-com/NPR station) in Boston. I highly doubt they said okay to someone else using those call letters.

Was wondering whatever happened to 1120 AM in Coral Springs . . . there is this old R.I Thread about 1120 with good info, but no new intel.

Its not going to happen, Langer gave up and its been dismissed. Read HERE .

So the FCC doesn't know how to spell superseded.
