A friend of mine just told me. He called the station and they said they've been off since Thursday due to a serious technical issue.

It's sad that the second oldest radio station in Sacramento....That was number 2 in the market as recently as 1978 is virtually worthless in the community.
I heard a while back that it was sold, I dont know who bought itMichael Rivers Kramer said:

It hasn't sold....Paula Nelson still owns it.
"I think very few people noticed"
Actually, I bet quite a few people would notice the station being off the air if they still aired the progressive format with Christine Craft in the afternoon. I listened quite a bit, and I know many others who did as well. That was good radio... I was truly sad to see the station flip to gospel

There you go, maybe 1240 could be the place for Classic country.

Sad but true! I interviewed with them a few years ago, when it was a progressive "station". My impression was it's basically on automation 23 hours a day...now probably 24/7.

That solid state transmitter is less than 10 years old.
KRJY....was evicted from the tower by the tower owner.

A new tower location may not get as much coverage. Being along the American River was great for coverage.

Wow... I think that tower has been used for decades, including the early 1970's during the mighty KROY top 40 years. Many great memories of hiding under my covers as a youth with a radio listening to Wonder Rabbit and the rest. Sad...
I'm guessing someone hasn't paid the rent in quite a while. Lessors usually don't evict rent paying customers!
Maybe another station is moving in, KJAY perhaps?Bengalsfan said:
