Delilah is buying the radio station where she first got her start.. KDUN-AM in Reedsport, Oregon. It's a 50kW Class B daytimer at 1030 kHz, she's reportedly paying a whopping $60,000 for it. According to the "equipment list" in this article, it appears she's getting the tower and transmission equipment, but no studio or related gear is mentioned:
Radio World Magazine did a writeup this month about Delilah buying the station where she got her first radio gig. It sounds like her heart is definitely in the right place and her intentions are the best. The station was dark and the facility a bit of a mess when she bought it. She seems to be putting money into new studios and planning to make it a full-service type station with a local morning show, a Tradio program and a concentration on local sports and events. She also plans to reduce the wattage down from 50,000 watts to both save on electricity, and also to concentrate on serving the very local community instead of a huge, wide area and audience (that they probably can't sell much to).
Delilah chose to return to her roots when she had the opportunity to purchase KDUN.
The AM station, licensed for 50 kW days and 630 watts nights on 1030 kHz, was silent at the time. The physical plant consisted physically of just an overgrown tower site and a working Nautel transmitter.
She built new studios in the former Jewett Elementary School building — the exact space that was her homeroom as a child — and put KDUN back on the air on Labor Day morning in 2021.
“When I was there, we were ‘5,000 watts of crystal-clear AM power — KDUN, the voice of the Oregon Dunes.’ I still dream that ID every few weeks. Now we’re 50,000 watts, how crazy is that?
“So, I’m hoping to step it down. We really don’t need 50 kW, and I don’t need the electricity bill. Right now, we reach almost border-to-border from Washington to California. But really, the station exists for and about Reedsport, so we’ll adjust that if we can in the future.”
