KQV to go off air after Dec 31
- Thread starter raccoonradio
- Start date
When 1080 was rebuilding their Transmitter in 1999 Mike Horvath told me they had a 10 watt nighttime Authorization.
As inorm99 said,it's isn't about cutting costs but living within your means. You might want that $2,000 a month apartment buy when you can only afford $1,200, you take the $1,200 and see what you can do from that point. So many don't understand radio is a business. You can't have what you cannot afford at the moment. There is no never-ending supply of cash to play with. And like any other business will tell you, when you need money you can't get it and when you don't need it you can get all you want.
I worked there in the 80s... when they went to night power you couldn't hear the air signal in the studio downtown. They had to run a line back from the modulation monitor so we could hear it.
They had originally targeted an October return date for KQV.
Any word on whether they are still on-track for that?

On October 2nd, the FCC accepted a request from KQV to modify their license to Non-Commercial Educational status.
Not sure they actually "revised the rules" yet. They put out a proposal.

And even if the rules do change, wouldn't they have to complete a new engineering study
to prove that the increased power would comply with the new rules?

I note with interest that as of November 23, KQV has been re-licensed to operate using the existing five towers on the North Side, rather than from the WEDO tower, as was originally planned. I assume that Bob Stevens is leasing the site, and that this may be temporary.
The sale has closed, the change to non-commercial status has been approved, and the station is now licensed. Guess it's time to start paying attention to 1410 again and see what comes next.

Clark, I have a friend that wants get ahold of you to do some liners. PM me on here.
I have a brother who lives not far from that site, and he tells me there is substantial local opposition to another housing development on that tower site.
At the end of the day money talks, and developers get their way. But I guess the site
is still useful so long as that battle winds its way through the courts.

From what I understand Ross Township won't change the zoning on the land making it pretty much useless for anything else than what it currently is. That being the case they're probably leasing it to Stevens for a very good price. Most likely cheaper than diong the work to diplex off the WEDO Tower.
Yes, KQV was granted a new license to cover last week for the Ross Township 5-tower 5 kW facility.
But it doesn't mean they're staying there. That license was issued to cover the change from commercial to NCE status. It reflects the 5 kW 5tower parameters because that's still what's licensed for KQV.
The WEDO-diplex CP issued in June remains valid, and when it's built out, a new license to cover will be issued with those parameters.

At some point I suspect the land will be rezoned. Without those proceeds the entire deal isn't very good for the Dickey Family. The right palms just haven't been greased yet.
The FCC works in mysterious ways. Always happy to help pull back the curtain when I can.

Always appreciated. I see that by virtue of signing on for a few days in mid-2018, KQV has until June 5, 2019 to get back on the air before losing its license. My guess is that winter may slow progress at the WEDO site and it may be spring before anything happens. I check 1410 occasionally, but haven't heard anything ... yet.
