File this one under "shocker of the century."
All kidding aside, the flip happened a few weeks ago and has garnered very little interest. The former KMJY with its booster now provides a decent signal in the city limits but go up the valley and points east - fughetaboutit.
I'm curious what rabbit the former KMJY has up its sleeve to be a "player." Its at such a disadvantage already vs KEZE (signal, street perception etc). I'd love to see KQQB's business model and what their expectations are in the book.
The real loser in this is Newport and communities to the north. Having lost an AM station (700 KXLX) and now the former KMJY to the metropoli of Spokane. 104.5's only connection to its city of license is now its legal ID. Peripheral signals of a market trying to 'become' stations in that chosen market is nothing new. The potentual revenue is very appealing.
KQQB throwing 87kw across the sparsely populated northeastern corner of the state might just be a huge waste of transmitter power. I'm pretty sure its new format is not a hot ticket in points north. KMJY's format was pretty safe, KQQB in a very white bread area with a format that plays in big cities better - time will tell.
Early bets on this one - it won't last. They got beat by Morgan Murphy and just cannot compete with KEZE.

It's on South Central.
In spite of the loss to Newport (who's only LOCAL radio outlet now is KUBS - a high school station) I think it's kind of poetic justice that the same coverage area that is still home to a lot of old neo-Nazis now gets blasted with an 87,000 watt hip-hop cap in it's butt.
First the compound goes, now this. Ain't karma a bitch.....

Re: Straight Outta Spo-Kompton....
Larry,
I think you'd be surprised how many "old Neo-Nazis" are left in this area. Not many at all. The Aryan Nations types were run out of town. People like that are drifters anyway once they've been chased off they go set up shop elsewhere. The locals loathed them.
Its too bad a violent fringe kook group of 200 members defined a region. When in reality they were the minority in every concievable way. The people here are more rural no doubt, but racist hatemongers - hardly.
Back to KQQB - word today is that they are moving thier studios to Spokane. I'll watch with interest how they play ball with the Morgan Murphys, Clear Channels and Citadels. My gut instinct is not very well.

You have a point. But then again he also owns KAZZ, so chances are that they could also come into place once that deal is finalized.
Meanwhile over at KEZE, the station has picked up the syndicated Morning Playhouse from KXJM/Portland for it AM timeslot.
