Heritage 630 KIDO (now with the kfxd call letters) drops 2 towers (on purpose)

[boiseengineer]

The East and Center towers of the 630 "KFXD" (was KIDO) Boise site were dropped last Friday March 3rd.
The remaining West tower will stay for now. The land owner wants to repurpose the property.
The site was built in 1950~1951 when KIDO moved from 1380 KHz to 630 KHz. KIDO started out as Boise High School's KFAU in 1922.
KDBI (ex KBSU ect...) 730 also broadcast from those towers but has been off since last August.
"KFXD" 630 is now non-directional day & night. Thay have applied for 5 kw non-directional day, 38 watts night and are currently running 38 watts night but not full 5 kw day.

For these companies that take down and remove radio towers.... business must be booming!

I haven't seen anything filed for this change on KFXD.

Been told it's at the FCC. Might be taking the slow path across the desks to the Daily Digest and LMS/CDBS.
I had been looking for some STA filings that were filed long ago.
They showed up in the LMS once this week. Went back in and they weren't there anymore.
