IHeart Cancels 93.3 K227DS

A little more context: it was the cross-service translator for KATZ(AM). The tower is shown as owned by the Communications Fund, which was the name of one of Richard J. Miller's corporate entities. Miller, long since passed, once owned KADI(FM, 96.3) and KXLW/KADI/KKOJ (AM, 1320).

Edit: I was hoping this might have been the old KADI tower, but it turns out that tower was nearby, but on the other side of Manchester Road, but still in Brentwood.

My former in-laws live in Affton near MacKenzie and Watson. I still visit them a handful of times a year and have never heard that translator on-air. Not that it could never have been on-air as I don't check the radio every time I'm there; I just don't think it was on-air for very long. It should've had a decent signal in that area.

Miller, by the way, also owned KWKI 93.3 in Kansas City in the 70's. Seems like he had a station in Denver, too.

Miller also brought over Rich Dalton from KADI to program it. KWKI was very similar to KADI, an album-rock format that was a little more mainstream than the typical progressive-rock station of the era. But KYYS was too strong an album-rock operation in Kansas City in the 1970s, and Miller sold to Jimmy Swaggart, who had the station for a few years before selling it to Sandusky. A quick search turns up no evidence that Miller had a station in Denver.

The old KADI site was also the original KXLW (1320) site, which was bombed in 1968. There's quite a bit of history in that obscure corner of Brentwood.
