Can anybody tell me whats up with this station ,They have 10 watts and there signal doesn't reach any major valley cities (maybe Coalinga),they have a constrution permit to raise power and TL,which they had for a year and a half.there connected with the Rick Dees station Movin' in LA.
 
There is no connection between the former KZLA 93.9 in Los Angeles and this station. It is owned by Gold Coast/High Desert/Point headed by John Hearn of Santa Monica. That company claims it is short on cash. They also have an application to change the city of license to a nearby "town" that the FCC had previously deamed too insignificant to qualify as a "city" for allotment purposes.
 
98.3 (A) was first proposed as a drop in to Riverdale -- an un-incorporated area in Fresno County by a local radio tech -- for one of the major Fresno owners. The FCC requested full information to prove that Riverdale existed as a "Community" -- and allocated 98.3 A to the City of Huron -- as first and only radio service, when no one could prove that Riverdale existed. Gold Coast and it's partner have offered several local area radio stations "Short Change" to relocate to Huron, which would then allow KZLA -- to move to a new "Community" -- Riverdale as a Class "B-1". FCC staff are holding on to this one and are expected to "REJECT" the application to move KZLA to Riverdale - on two points. (1) Riverdale may be listed as a Census CDP, but KZLA has not provided proof that it exists as a community and (2) 98.3 A -- KZLA is the only radio service licensed and in operation at Huron. Several other applications are still pending for new stations at Huron, including a new application from KZLA to move to a new Class A site -- overlooking Interstate 5, north of Harris Ranch Junction. Even KZLA expects the FCC to say NO.
