KSIS translators

Mark Roberts

Mark Roberts

This week, Townsquare filed silent notifications for the two translators in Sedalia and Warrensburg that it recently acquired from Bott Broadcasting. As noted in this and previous filings, Townsend is relocating the Sedalia translator, K234CE, to the KSIS(AM) tower just north of Sedalia and will rebroadcast KSIS. The current filing indicates that the Warrensburg translator, K245BO, is fed off-the-air from K234CE. Consquently, it has also had to go off the air until the K234CE relocation is completed.

Bott replaced the translators with a new station, 88.3 KVWS, licensed to Sedalia, the first week of December.

The translators will give KSIS FM coverage in two of the three primary communities in the western portion of central Missouri. Townsquare also owns KSDL, which began as KSIS-FM in 1964, the first FM station in central Missouri to survive to the present day.

KSIS is a news/talk station.

What frequency is the FM translator on?

Recall that the FM channel number is part of the translator call letters. Consequently: K234CE → Channel 234 → 94.7 MHz and K245BO → Channel 245 → 96.9 MHz.

The Sedalia translator is moving from the south side of the city to the north side (KSIS is right where Missouri Route 765 splits off from US 65; it kind of marks the northern extent of the urban area); the Warrensburg translator isn't moving from its location about halfway between Warrensburg and Knob Noster.

I bet on good tropo days that reception of the 94.7 translator gets quite a bit of interference from 94.9 KCMO-FM.

Sedalia competitor KDRO already has a translator; Warrensburg competitor KOKO does not.
