KOTC Move?

Re: KOTC Move/Sale?
I *assume* they have made some sort of a signal in the past few days. CP was to expire 1/1.
BTW: KOTC filed an application this morning to SELL to the WVIM people for $200k (or, more if CP is issued for more power). The Asset Purchase Agreement can be found here:
https://licensing.fcc.gov/cdbs/CDBS...?appn=101481753&qnum=5040©num=1&exhcnum=1
I have only scanned it briefly. I can, though, opine why they might want it. Think translator.

Re: KOTC Move/Sale?
DE, please expound a little here; would 95.3 be doing an AM simulcast? (I'm just a listener, not in the biz).

I'm just guessing here, but...
An AM simulcast does 95.3 little good. Perhaps they have an idea for a niche format for 830, e.g., Oldies, but I doubt that's what it is about.
They may intend to get a "fill-in" translator in the City. The 95.3 signal would not qualify for a fill-in (and the higher ERP possible), but 830 would. So, in that case, the station has value.
At one time, 95.3 was getting the still-unconstructed 105.5 translator, set to be 250W in North Memphis. It is now listed as translating 1380; I am not sure what the deal is there.
Again, just guessing.

I have not caught a signal on there but it could have came and went without my detection and probably did just as Watt explained earlier.
I have buzzed by the WLOK site a couple times just to see if by chance I caught a warm body there working noting first lots of tire marks where the gravel and pavement ends. Then on the second trip a portable generator like you pull behind a truck was parked in front.

I dont know if it really matters whether KOTC goes 5k or 50k.
The same owner of WVIM?
You see how well he has done with that.

For the record, 1030 came on the air in 1984, 1210 in 1986.

Just what the market needs...another low-powered AM that no one will listen to (heck, according to Arbitron, a whopping 15% of all radio listening in the metro is on AM), and something else for the sale staff at The Rebel to foist on an unsuspecting business community.
nothing new here really but no mention of plans to use a translator.
