I know he sold his station in the commercial band in New York (that must've brought in some cash!), apparently funding is way down... http://www.oregonlive.com/today/index.ssf/2013/05/end_times_for_california_evang.html

New potential non-profit station in Seattle?

In stock market terms, what this guy did, allegedly of course, is called a pump and dump.
If and when the 1460 in Kirkland gets sold, there's no guarantee that it'll remain nonprofit.
For example, it could be an upgrade compared to the current signal on 1360, and I'm wondering if it could provide a better signal with fewer headaches for KKOL.
Regardless, Family Radio blew its credibility (three times) on the end-of-the-world prediction, and I can't imagine donations picking up.

Isn't there a question of whether the 1460 transmitter site will continue to be available? If not, finding land and overcoming objections for a multi-tower setup might be difficult (remember Everett?). KKDZ runs their sunset-to-midnight hours there, too.
1460 might be a good Seattle repeater for a Tacoma station. Or perhaps ESPN Deportes could use it (puts in a better signal in Seattle than 1490.) Most of the 1460 signal is thrown directly west anyway.
If Chris Bennett put KZIZ here, the Smooth Jazz might even get noticed.
Camping had it coming. Or maybe this is what he was aiming at. Who knows? All we know is we now have a bunch of AM stations that need to be sold off and the only one really worth anything in terms of signal coverage is 610 in San Francisco.

It was in fact one of God's sickest jokes that one of the best stations known to man wound up as a Family Radio property.
610 has an impressive signal because, as KFRC, it had some of the best engineers around. Phil Lerza is amazing.
For those who had never seen it, KFRC had a "Master Control" room that was not where the jock was ... it was literally all the processing and STL gear! Shows what happens when an engineering mindset has a say-so in the office layout! (Meanwhile, what most would consider the jock's master control was no slouch setup either...including 12 cart playback decks!)
