Goodbye K-LUV, Hello The Spot (98.7)

[stan]

FCC shows facility #67195 as KSPF, active as of today. KLUV may be what was said at the TOH, but it is legally KSPF.

It’s probably in the backlog of voiceover work to be done. Or it got lost in the server.

I listened this morning. TOH is now KSPF. Voiced by a woman.

Oh...

I'm assuming that they've dropped 'America's Greatest Hits With Scott Shannon' which aired on Sunday mornings?

I wonder why KLOVE paid for the rights to the IP in DFW unless they had a purchase agreement lined up. Maybe they have a 6 month non compete.

That seems like a reaonable assumption. It would start a new station right around the first of the year too. (not that a start date like that would matter)

i think the show ended with Scott Shannon's recent retirement (this is the same Scott Shannon who is from WCBS-FM in New York City, am i right)

 

[mjb1124]

The America's Greatest Hits show is still going on and airing weekly on other Audacy stations like WCBS-FM. I don't know if The Spot has dropped it, but since the post asking about it was made on a Sunday morning, it seems plausible.

So how did the KLUV call wind up on a 100 watt FM in Oakwood, Texas, owned by North Texas Radio Geoup? Did EMF not grab it fast enough once Audacy flipped it?

That request will be dismissed. EMF already filed to move the KLUV calls back in June.

😂 well...you can't blame Dick for trying. I personally would've requested it for 1540, so the FM side would still be available for EMF.

Perhaps, but why does the filing indicate “granted”? Perhaps I’m not familiar enough with the actual application mechanics.

 

[fybush]

Glitch at the FCC. The callsign request system still isn't functionally smoothly on an automated basis, and the Oakwood application was apparently granted without looking at the prior request from EMF. The lawyers are already very much on it.

What happened to their playlist? It’s gone from their website

I’ve seen LPFMs use a call sign that a full powered FM in a different state uses. I thought that was different

 

[fybush]

It is. WXXX-FM and WXXX-LP are different callsigns, though the LPFM needs to get consent from the older full-power station to use the base callsign.

Although the Oakwood station that erroneously got the KLUV call (current call: KDNT😵‍💫🤪) runs only 100 watts, it is licensed as a Class A, not an LPFM.

I did not notice that!

That’s a bug that happens on all of the Audacy websites. It’s happened from time to time for years.
