I have no idea what Liberman has in store for KNOR. They've been ignored for a long time. Wasn't the upgrade suppose to be done long ago? Like I said, they should just put a "La Raza" format there and get it over it. What a wasted signal it is.<P ID="signature">______________

KNOR should have simulcasted KLBJ in my oppinion although I can listen to it any old time over the internet but it would still be fun to listen to KLBJ up in Dallas. I remember staying up until almost 3 at night cleaning out boxes and picking my room up and was listening to KLBJ from like 11:30 pm that night. put a rock station on it for crying out loud <P ID="signature">______________

Nope
and
Certainly NO
Liberman has no idea what they are doing.....you can call Clear Channel Cheap Channel but Liberman is CHEAPER channel in a lot of cases..(mostly due to their GM in Houston who is a snot nosed idiot and doesnt know anything about radio)...Leonard will spend the money if he knows about it....but he is NEVER happy about the results no matter what (and I have seen that several times)...The TV station will get the most attention right now...

Looking back over what KNOR has done, once they moved to Krum from Oklahoma, they immediately set out to upgrade their original C2 signal to a C1. That's what they are now, running 12,000 watts ERP at about 1950 feet above average terrain.
The construction permit for the new upgrade, which would boost them up to a Class C0 (C-zero), was just granted on August 15th. They've got three years to complete the work, but it won't take nearly that long. When the upgrade is complete KNOR will be running 100,000 watts ERP at roughly 1476 HAAT. They'll be increasing their power substantially, of course, but they'll be losing 475 feet in height. That's really critical. The new site, by the way, is seven miles NNE of their present one. That's not much, but coupled with the increased power it will bring about a noticeable increase in their coverage, especially in Collin County and north and northwest Dallas County. Any signal improvement in Tarrant County won't be that dramatic.
Summing it up, KNOR will improve their signal somewhat overall. But it is, and will still be a rim-shot. What's more, with the current ownership the station will still sound bad even after the "upgrade."

Though it's not setting the world on fire, St. Louis has Red at 104.1 FM, a rimshot from Illinois. They are an uptempo loungesque modern nostalgia format
(Krall, Buble', Anka's latest, and a nice does of cool for fun, Louis Prima and Keely Smith, Frank and that ilk. To have that on FM in this market would please me to no end....though I'd probably be the only cume they'd have.
Of course, it's a local sell format and judging by the state of radio reps in this market, they'll never get it!
