Doez anyone know if KNSJ is back on the air after filing the STA authorization with the FCC after all of their antenna and trransmitter problems?

KNSJ back on the air by now?
- Thread starter sdwulfdawg
- Start date
They now have another station in Imperial County in Glamis KUMI-FM on 89.1 in Glamis as well as they just received FCC approval to buy a CP in Fortuna Foothills (east of Yuma) on 91.5.
Yet, they don't seem to have the funds to repair or replace KNSJ's antenna when it gets damaged.
I get the feeling they do not want to repair it. All they care about is having the KNSJ call letters to use for their web site.
Very odd.
Yes, they've been back on the air for at least a few weeks.
Whether they are transmitting a signal or not doesn't really matter these days.
"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"

I am not familiar with heritage call letters for San Diego, was KNSJ call letters on an important or ratings leading station at one time?
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 LOL!
I might have to do with streaming rights since they are a radio station.
I think you might be thinking of when the current NBC 7 advertised themselves as KNSD News San Diego 7/39. Before then, they were KCST.
No. They never thought that far or be ever had the ability to think in the present or future.
The only reason for purchasing KUMI would have to be plans to upgrade this facility. This a 100 watt signal that only covers sand dunes. No joke, the only permanent structure in Glamis is a gas station and store. There are zero people living within signal range, only visitors to the dunes.
If no plans to upgrade, are they trying to cobble together a bunch of useless radio signals for a network?
The CP for the one in the retirement community outside of Yuma is better (also 100 watts). At least there is a population with a median age of 63. Doesn't seem like this would be their target audience.

KNSJ-FM has filed that they resumed transmissions on June 6 but were late in filing the required notice of resumption paperwork.
