Could you expand a bit on that? Couldn't make it work economically or technically (or both)?

KEXP Buys KREV

Hipsters still exist? I thought that was a 2008-09 thing?
[midtown Sacramento has entered the chat]
Along with Lake Merritt in Oakland.
But I suspect alleged hipsters are either too old or too young for FM radio. (Puzzle over that one for a while.)
Based on what I was seeing just before I left Oakland, the whole hipster persona with Rutherford B. Hayes-like beards was being supplanted by porn-star mustaches and athleisure clothing. I already knew it was going to be over the day four years ago in the Rockridge BART parking lot when I saw a man walking away from his car who had all the exterior features of a stereotypical hipster, complete with luxuriant beard, but had a Montclair Soccer Club sticker on the back of his car - likely meaning he had kids playing soccer. In the Montclair district of Oakland. Which ain't hipster. (I should know; I lived there until three months ago.) But the inexorable march of changing styles likely was paused by the pandemic.
But enough about facial hair. Marin is more along the lines of corporate executives, both aspiring and settled, who like to take the ferry to work and the mild climate. There's a lot of money there.
KFOG probably wasn't hipster; instead, its audience just aged out and the station got stale, KGO for music lovers.
Hope to hear KEXP soon!
I do wonder if the FCC will be OK with the "Grandfathered" 3rd adjacent short spacing claim since it's guite a bit more of an overlap area.
KRZZ and KREV present overlap.

For stations that were authorized before 1964, there are no third-adjacent spacing restrictions. KREV could co-locate with 93.3 in theory, at least in the absence of its other spacing issues to Walnut Creek, San Jose and Monterey.
By the way, there was a paragraph in the technical exhibit for the KREV move that specifically addressed this point and the pre-1964 exemption.
Would the new signal reach Vallejo?
The FCC has approved the application to relocate to Mt. Sutro.
Doubtful. It looks like there's a little bit of reduced coverage in that direction.
Are you going to run HD or just analog? And welcome to the 'hood.
Or when I visit my brother, just have a listen

Wondering who, if anyone, will snatch the KREV calls.
Is there some reason those calls are of importance in an era when stations use names, not calls, for their identity?
Not that I can tell...
