KLIV going dark

Signal Geek said:
That's surprising about KYA being listenable in Ukiah. Because when I lived in Marin in the 1970s, it was very weak in towns like Mill Valley and Larkspur-- but fine close to the Bay. My theory was that the Golden Gate Bridge (tons of metal) and the Marin Headlands (tons of rock) plus several mountains were all in a direct line between Mill Valley and the KYA tower-- which really hurt the signal in that specific direction.

Yeah, I think there were interference issues in Marin. Again, it wasn't a killer signal. And when I say listenable, I mean you could understand lyrics and jock talk through static. Which means nobody but a radio person would actually listen to it.
 
KLIV is one of those mystery signals that is very “spotty” depending where you live. If the $$ is right KLIV could be sold and maybe someone could increase signal if they granted permission to do so...

Theyre going to diplex from the 1430 towers.

EVen that borders on cost prohibitive.. building a new AM site in an over radioed major market is a waste.. this thing will never make more money then it does as an ethnic broadcaster of some sort.

It didnt turn a profit under the previous owner as i recall

To say nothing of land costs in the Bay Area.
