KCYT Ozark, AR moving to Fayetteville

[Lazy J]

I just saw this on Radio Insight. Looks like Bunyard has filed to move KCYT up from Ozark into Fayetteville.

Staying Classic Country I hope.

I wonder when it is gonna happen?

Also, if it does, I wonder what will be done with KDUA? (the little Catholic station in Rogers at 96.5)

They are proposing to move KDUA and two other LPFM stations to new frequencies.

Here is a coverage map for the new signal.

^ that works.

I'm guessing that map is the 'local' coverage map.

It will be interesting to see how well I'll be able to get KCYT up here near Washburn, MO when the change is made. I figure I will be in what radio-locator would call the 'fringe' area and the station will be between 2 other stations (96.5 from Springfield, MO and 96.9 from Pittsburg, KS), both of which will likely come in stronger than KCYT.

I'm guessing that my reception will be similar to that of KURM at 100.3 but slightly better. However, not near as good as KXNA at 104.9
