KNOU Off the Air Temporarily?

Noticed on the FCC website that KNOU has filed a STA to go silent due to financial reasons. Whoever ends up owning KNOU is going to have a lot of work to do!

I'd say they're off the air for good... at least as long as Hegwood owns it.

I bet whoever buys it can get it for less than $3.5 mil. For those who don't know, that's how much Marathon (i.e. "U104.5") originally paid for the station.

Zephyr Radio got some free publicity in the Times-Picayune last Sunday. Think they can raise enough to put a new rock station back on terrestrial radio?

I flipped through the dial today and they were still on.

I thought silent meant "no noise whatsoever".<P ID="signature">______________

Looks like someone forgot to send the memo down here :)
If they are broadcasting, where from? I take it in the 504 BT?

BTW , here is Hegwood's application for the STA

Nah, the mail musta been slow.

I think it is silent now, but can I get someone down in Metry to confirm that?

In Metry this past Sunday - 99% sure they were still kicking. Of course, a couple of days can make all the difference.
 
Apparently Not

They were still on TODAY!

I'd bet the FCC would like to hear about this.<P ID="signature">______________

Sounds to me like, their not only silent, but dead... as in no signal at all. I checked them quite a few times today and they have been off each time I checked. All Static, All The Time! lol

Goodbye HOT 104-5
