KXXO Mixx 96.1

[swhyde1980]

Was wondering if anyone here had an update of the status of KXXO, and when they were going to move to Capital Peak? And strengthen their reign as THE station in the area with the "Mix" name, after the failed Mix 100.7, Mix 95.7, and Mix 92.5?

I think they are on Capitol Peak right now. The signal is good in Bellevue (a couple months ago it was extremely weak), but get up on the hills and I get a good 30-35 dBu off of KXXO.

No, they don't have a construction permit yet.

That's not a CP for Capitol; that's the CP for South Mountain which was granted a couple years back, which they modified down to 30kw as a low C from Capitol a couple months back--they are still waiting on that one. They are still flipping between low power in Tenino (4ish kw.) and Rooster Rock for the time being IIRC.

Thanks for the clarification.

They didn't modify their construction permit. It ran out and they applied to move to Capitol Peak instead. I'm surprised that Radio-Locator shows an expired permit. They didn't used to do that. They don't show applications. The FCC site is a better source!

Other than the morning show, do they have any other live shifts now?

 

[bossbill]

Does anybody?

 

[Jack Griffin]

Actually, they do.

Mornings are live 5:30a-9a, VTd 9a-12p.
12p-6p is live.

There's even live shifts on the weekends, including a Sunday morning show with the legendary Dick Pust.

As for the transmitter move - nothing's changed and that's going to be the case for the foreseeable future.
