KCMO simulcasting on KTOP-FM 102.9

K

Kent

RadioInsight is reporting KCMO 710/KCHZ 95.7 is now simulcasting on KTOP-FM 102.9.

Unless this is temporary, purely cost-cutting, or another shoe is about to drop, this makes little-to-no sense. 95.7 already covers virtually all of Topeka with a citygrade signal.

The two stations have nearly identical syndicated lineups, so I don't get it either. KMAJ has a translator on 93.5, so maybe Cumulus can work with it, clearing different talk shows, or moving sports from KTOP (no translator).

Considering Cumulus’s struggles, I’d say cost cutting.

My guess would be that another shoe is about to drop. Rob mentioned sports; that's one possibility. It's a C2 signal, inferior to most others in the market. A spoken-word format in mono might be the most practical use for it.
