I'm reading on the SF board that "Ed Stolz" (sp?) purchased 92.7 SF, fired 35, and flipped formats. Is this the KWOD Ed Stolz? I infer that it is.....

ED STOLZ AND 92.7 SAN FRANCISCO
- Thread starter ChiefOperator
- Start date
Okay, after reading more about the sale, I can answer my own question. Yes, it is KWOD Ed Stolz. Now, he's in San Francisco. I wonder whether he'll try to get back into Sac?

Perhaps EMF would be willing to sell 99.5 when they get it back up and running. A commercial FM is worth more to them sold off than being used as another K-LOVE.

KM communications initially won the right to apply for a CP for 1030 in Elk Grove back in 2004. Ed has challenged this decision. He's askied for reconsideration reversing the decision that denied his receiving an extension for his long expired CP for 1030 in Folsom.
The new station is stuck in limbo.
Regarding the 1500 in Los Angeles Ed was also denied an extention there (after holding the CP for about 25 years !). Of course, he has filed an appeal for that one too. In the meantime 1500 has been filled on by 3 groups, including Ed's, along with one from ole' Saul Levine owner of 1260/105.1 in L.A., and Art Aster who's mx'd app. would upgrade his 1510 Ontario to 50kw.

In regards to 1500 KIEV, note this paragraph in exhibit 14 from the link below
(Ed Stolz represents Royce):
ROYCE HOLDS 100% OF THE EQUITY AND CONTROLS PLAYA DEL SOL BROADCASTERS, LICENSEE OF KRCK-FM, MECCA, CALIFORNIA (FACILITY IDENTIFICATION NUMBER 52808). ROYCE IS ALSO THE PERMITTEE OF KIEV(AM), BURBANK, CALIFORNIA (FACILITY IDENTIFICATION NUMBER 57893).

I know this is a little off topic but while we're talking about Ed..
I saw a few pictures from the KRCK myspace that show an old Orban Optimod 8100A in the background on a rack. I was wondering if anybody has any idea if that was left over from when he lost KWOD to Entercom.
I'm asking because KWOD always had a very distinctive sound when Ed owned it, very different from the other stations in the market and I always wondered what equipment he used to get that sound.

It did have a sound kinda crunchy and trebly . Personally, I found it took me just a short time to get extreme listening fatigue
where'd ed get all the money to buy energy?

He got 15,000,000 from the sale of KWOD. The original amount, 25,000,000 minus 10,000,000.
Ed just might be getting his first series of "It's-2009-And-You're-In-San-Francisco" wake up calls:

This should be watched very closely...if a Board Of Supervisors can dictate content on a privately-held company, even with only moderate success, the ramifications could be stunning...and very, very dangerous for this industry.

They don't have a chance of success with this effort, not in a million years. This is just another example of a bunch of spoiled rotten children upset about not getting their way at the candy counter! If all the fans of dance music want this music on the radio so badly then put up 6.5 million dollars plus another three million on top of that for Ed's trouble and buy the station from him. Then they can program the station any way they want. Ed can then buy another Sacramento radio station instead. Seems simple enough? Doesn't it? He who has the cash gets the flash! Or should I say "Energy."

There was one situation I remember somewhat like this - when KKCY was sold to Jim Gabbert. There was this group called the "Coalition to save the City". They petitioned the FCC on some obscure rule and tried to block the sale. I wasn't close to the situation, but I heard that Gabbert finally agreed to try the format, rather than fight them in court, and in fact the original KOFY FM was probably one of the first AAA stations around. It sounded pretty good, and got over a 2.0 share even though it only ran for part of a book. But after a few months the programmers were replaced and it became an AC station. Of course, the license had been transferred and there was nothing that the "coalition" could do at that point.

92.7 is going to be for sale soon!
