KGY moved from Waterfront Studio in Olympia

There is a banner ad out there for Rockwell Media Brokerage listing a Olympia. WA translator for sale ; it has a 60 dBu signal covering over 351,000 people. My guess it that it's "95.3 KGY", the same K237FR . The Internet audio has ceased and my travels through Olympia show that signal intermittent. The KYYO HD signal seems to be missing too. (The owners SeaSound have been adjusting their portfolio as of late too.)

Your guess is incorrect, K237FR isn’t for sale. I also saw the ad for the translator that is listed in Olympia, no idea what other existing property has 60 dBU coverage of 350k population. (K237FR doesn’t hit 350K). Pretty curious to find out which property is listed.

KYYO-FM/HD2 is on-air & 95.3 FM is very reliably on-air aside from the rare power outage on Tumwater Hill.

KGY Media Group /KYYO successfully moved to new studio facilities on Capitol Way in downtown Olympia in December.

The HD2 and HD3 content were streamed for a bit. The Internet audio appears gone. Is that true? One was WCFL tribute station.
 
That was KRXY HD4
Correct -- KRXY has 2 HD translators, yet have not been running an originating HD signal for a number of years. KRXY also were listed for sale a few weeks back... so possibly K262CY or K270CJ? I've been to lazy to pull out an analyzer to see if they are running digital sidebands or not. Could be an Exgine issue -- although it just seems like they turned it off and are running the translators regardless.

I've noticed KYYO's HD2 and HD3 constantly cut in and out -- almost sounds like an Importer issue. You listen for a minute or two, drops to nothing, radio shows no HD2 or HD3 but HD1 is there, then it all comes back -- repeat.
 
That was KRXY HD4
Incorrect. They have never run an HD4. The HD3 was running the SuperCFL programming for some years, then that was replaced with the sports betting programming.

KRXY has 2 HD translators, yet have not been running an originating HD signal for a number of years.
Also incorrect. Drove near the Kimilche area a few weeks ago and there was definitely HD programming present. I think they are oprating at an excpetionally low power, but they are not breaking the law. Probably something broken. I beleive the HD signal and the translators both operate on the same tower, so it's not like the signal has to go far to "feed" those translators.

Well, there is now a public price for said unnamed translator. $56,500 .

Meanwhile, CSN has received permission to move their K209FO, Olympia signal to the southwest a bit and increase power to 140 watts horizontal (from 70 watts V) . The frequency would change from 89.7 to 88.9 . This would greatly increase the coverage.

If you haven't noticed, CSN is "sweeping" through their translator lists and upgrading wherever possible.
