KMKY/Radio Disney

I see that KMKY is based in Redwood City now. Who are the lucky/unlucky owners now?

The owners are the same as before the move. Radio Disney was not sold off with the ABC radio properties.

Studios / offices / automation system that fills in local avails atop the network are indeed in San Carlos, visible from the freeway just N of Brittan Ave.

Studios? I would be shocked if they had so much as a 635A and an M267 (or a podcasting setup from Guitar Center) in a broom closet which could be routed to the transmitter. Seriously, do they do any live origination at all from their new office suite, and do they have a production studio/control room which is at least on par with a carrier-current college station?

Stop in one day and prepare to be shocked. A carrier-current station would be very happy with that setup.

They record a half-hour public-affairs show per week and load it into the AudioVault.

You know, I can't help but read any post about Radio Disney without thinking "Do ANY kids listen to AM?"

Mine do and they love it because they get to hear the music they like.

Another funny thing is that RD's playlists overlaps the poppier side of Energy's quite a bit, I discovered when we did the studio move. Sometimes I refer to Energy as "RD-Adult Swim"...

It's the reason my kids own transistor radios, and know every program on The Disney Channel (and how to find it on DirecTV).

It's a little equation that most radio station owners can't do the math on:

Programming + Marketing = Listeners​

Funny, but it's the same reason I listened to AM many years ago. If there's something worth listening to, people (regardless of age) will listen to it.
