I used to hear them most nights, and then they went MIA. Glad to hear they're still on the air.

They've been off the air for years now. Never have told the FCC they're off either.
Transmitter site floods regularly.
KDUN's a steaming pile.

50 kW non-directional, directly on the Pacific coast? I bet they have a great signal on the Aleutian Islands and Kamchatka Peninsula.

Sounds like Delilah bought a bona fide fixer upper! Nowhere to go but up! Wish her success!!!

Under FCC regs the license should be deleted. It's been off the air way more than 12 months.

^^^^^ But it hasn't been deleted, and maybe Delilah's interest in the station can make a go of it.... As some said on other threads, she probably has the funds to take the loss, whatever loss that is...

 

[boiseengineer]

It hasn't been deleted ONLY because the FCC hasn't found out about them being off the air for more than 12 months. Like buying a house that would be condemned if it was ever inspected.
Extremely risky.

Funny, KDUN's stream is working, via TuneIn. "Oldies 93.7 HD3" is their liner slogan, playing Classic Hits, sounds a little eclectic, a Bangles secondary hit into an old R&B / funk track I don't remember.

Edit: Not sure if this is a TuneIn mess up. It can't be 95 degrees right now anywhere in Oregon, much less in Southern Oregon, at midnight. RE-Edit: TuneIn screw up. The station that plays on KDUN's stream is an FM HD3 out of Ridgecrest, California.
