East-central Missouri broadcaster KGNN-FM in Cuba has requested cancellation of its license. The station had been silent since last June due to an antenna system failure. The station's engineer reports that, since then, there's been a whole series of problems, culminating in copper thefts last month. The engineer also noted that the land for the station's transmitter site was going to be sold next year. The FCC filing states that the board of the station's owner, Missouri River Christian Broadcasting, decided two weeks ago to turn in the license, as well as the license for an associated translator in Rolla. The license would have expired next week as a matter of law, due to being silent for a year.
Missouri River Christian Broadcasting will continue with its "Good News Voice" stations in Washington, also in east-central Missouri, and in the St. Louis suburbs of Arnold and Ballwin. The KGNN call letters were also once associated with an AM station in Cuba that was discontinued by Missouri River Christian Broadcasting sometime between 1996 and 1998.
