Is Indy coming back to KDAY?

Is Indy coming back to KDAY?

Yeah...Like that's gonna happen. (sarcastically)

Why would they trade a near 2.0 share 18-49 for a 0.5?

Singal wise which one is stronger 103.1 or 93.5?

Also why would they debut a brand new morning show, if they are gonna change formats. :

KDAY was below a 1.0 share when they were current based mainstream urban so you can easily conclude that they're gonna keep it old school.

One of the 103.1 signals is in Baldwin Hills, as is the LA area 93.5. They are, technically, nearly identical. But the 103.1 site is back from the "edge" of the flat area where all the sites are, while KDAY (and KJLH and KRCD) are nearer the edge and look down over the LA Basin, while KDLD has some blockage. Advantage: KDLD.

But KDLD is simulcast on KDLE, giving them partial OC coverage. So the twin 103.1's cover more LA metro population than the LA metro 93.5.

Remember, also, that 93.5 is a simulcast with KDEY, 93.5 in the general IE market but with LA metro spillage.

As Radio Researcher says, why would they switch a 2 share format for a 0.5 (less in PPM) format that was on a better-covering facility?

I was on the 210 East driving towards Monrovia and I notice 103.9 was coming in pretty decent while 102.3 and 93.5 were all somewhat static. Not bad for a non Mt. Wilson signal. After HBC purchased the station from Cox did they do any tower upgrades?

98.3 was moved from Johnstone Peak following the fire. It was high, but low power so it went a long way with a useless signal. At the new Duarte (57 at the 10) location it is lower, but full power. Ratings increases were immediate.

103.9 is still on one of the 1460 AM towers, although transmitter and antenna improvements were made (but no change in ERP).

Advantage: KDLD.

I meant to say, "Advantage: KDAY"

I keep forgetting about KTYM AM 1460. The only thing close to Gospel programming in Los Angeles than KJLH Sundays. Mostly preaching not Gospel music. Are there studios still in Ingelwood accross from Ingelwood Park Cemetery? Looks like no one is in the building its freaking old.

Your right even Entravision figured that out. When Clear Channel had a LMA with the station just to get (Dance) KDL off the air to put on Indie they werent worried about ratings just billing. Once that partnership died (FCC ownership limits) and Clear Channel focused on KYSR and KBIG Entravision is like WTF???? Indie isnt doing anything. Still it was a great station but I dont see it coming back ever.
