In what was described to us as being an inadvertent typo by the FCC, the license of KVET has been restored.

Good to hear one less AM in a sizable market is being sacrificed for its land value.

KVET is 1300 with 5,000 watts days, 1,000 watts nights. Directional antenna with a three-tower array. It also has a 250 watt FM translator at 103.1, running Fox Sports.
