Can’t pick it up at my house in Conroe near the tower that 95.3 is on, either. Holy crap, I think they finally turned down the power to be in compliance. Get the newspaper ready!!!

I’m not trying to publicly assume they weren’t compliant. They could simply just be off the air 🤷🏼‍♂️
 
Around 3 AM I was hearing a silent station fading in and out really weak. I heard that in the spot I usually don’t hear ESPN and KKHA tropos will typically come in.
 
Update: Checking the Griffin Media Brokers website, I notice that the Houston listing is now for an “FM station + translator” with no mention of an AM. Perhaps there is now a buyer for KGOW and Gow is still seeking bids for KFNC? “Open to all reasonable offers.”

Meanwhile the Change of Primary Station application for K223CW (to KGBC) was granted by the FCC today.

Not trying to be redundant in postings, but several threads are affected.

K223CW is now being fed by KBXX HD-2. KGBC has flipped back to Spanish language religion.
 
KGBC AM feature a new brand identity, with a focus on non-religious programming. They are playing a combination of 90s and 2000s grupero/norteño/odies music under the moniker 'La Ranchera"

It won’t live very long. As stated on another thread, KGBC is up for sale or lease. This is just filler.

Music on a bad AM signal and a dinky FM translator isn’t going to work.

Getting back to the thread topic: We should be getting an FCC approval of the K223CW sale to Gow in the next three or four weeks. Has been over 70 days since the transfer application was filed, and these are usually greenlit in 90 days or less.

🐸, I gotta ask. Why is it that you adamantly believe that David Gow is selling KFNC or KGOW? If it were me, and I were selling the AM/FM I outright owned, I sure wouldn't be scooping up rinky dink licenses at the same time. Maybe that's just the hometown, small town radio mentality in me. I'm not trying to be an a-hole or anything; I think you know that, but I am genuinely intrigued.
