The station was going to be evicted from the Candlestick location at the end of 2023. That's one reason it moved to Sutro.
The map showing station coverage on fccdata.org also shows the old site and not Sutro.

Go to the original source, fcc.gov, and search for KEXC on their Licensing and Management System (LMS). It's there and active. It looks like poster @Frequency1 might have gotten his/her info from the FCC's older CDBS, which has gotten frozen in time, as of last year, and is no longer being updated.
I’m just saying, it’s definitely at Sutro, they’ve been granted authorization to do so - anyone in the Bay Area can tell you that with how and where the signal pulls. That old site couldn’t get past Daly City very well at all.
Plus we saw posts from Jamie who works at the station during the testing period at Sutro.
That was my point as well. The fccdata.org coverage map is incorrect. Possibly some data problem. It's usually pretty reliable.
Besides, the Candlestick site is no longer available to them. KEXP did an impressive job in lining up an alternate site so quickly for KEXC.
Frequency1 makes a good point however - it's not documented in the usual manner. Might be a quirk of LMS and we all just need to get used to it. It's under a "License To Cover Amendment" which was filed when they fixed their antenna and increased ERP to 790 watts. You can see that in fccdata.org when you click on the L2CA 0000235284 link on the KEXC page. Even in LMS, something isn't right. Poke around here:
You'll see what I mean. It also doesn't show digital operation.

On Monday I listened to 92.7 during my drive home from Fremont.
My car radio with a rooftop antenna was able to pick up KEXC slightly past the Santa Clara County line on south 680, even though Fremont is on the fringe of KEXC's Radio Locator signal map.
But the co-channel interference with KCXU started just as I passed by the Milpitas Golfland and got worse past State Route 237. And for much of East San Jose (at least where I was driving), 92.7 is practically gibberish. At some pockets (especially while at stoplights), KEXC came in stronger!

Have an old (prior home owner) TV antenna on my roof in Saratoga. Run the antenna through my AV receiver...picks up KEXC cleanly. Driving in the South Bay, the signal goes in and out from Cupertino south. Country station from Salinas starts to interfere. In Sunnyvale/Santa Clara along the Bay, KEXC comes in fine.
I will be down in Vallejo prob this weekend, So Listen to it
