Cumulus shuts down KPUR 1440 Amarillo

Interesting... I wonder if this is a temporary format. There's no way they would run a format like this long-term when they already have FM stations that do this better. I wonder if Cumulus is planning to sell?

after 2 hours of listening in the last week, i’m slightly more confused then i was before. after simulcasting 95.7 for two weeks last. into, if they’d just left it off, i’d understand that… but they turned it back on and put some amount of effort into it

Most likely KPUR is on the air simply as a proof of performance for prospective purchasers of the station.

Amarillo already has four FMs running a Country format, two of them owned by Cumulus. No need for another Country entrant in the market.

then why not just simulcast the fm like it did in april for 2 weeks? why turn it off. and come back on 2 weeks later with a separate format that took someone’s amount of effort on someone’s part?
 
“the best songs.. and then some. commercial free” spoken by a bad A.I Voice on 1440 just now.

Perhaps a prospective new owner wants to relaunch the station from an active signal, instead of starting from silence. But who knows.🤔😑
 
1440 is still on air with automated 90s centric country.
