Kansas Reyes Media buying 105.9 KKSW in Lawrence

[Andy Travis]

It’s still the same format.

A modified supposedly so much better version of the same format, according to the post I quoted. Still filler.

Definitely screams ‘temporary.’ Heard it for the first time today: Chad Erickson’s imaging has been pulled, and replaced with college-aged sounding males/females.

KKSW is playing EoO by Bad Bunny right now, into Sports Car by Tate McRae, it’s a mix show that sounds really good

So, they hired some college-aged staff?

Lol, no. Listen to the station and you'll hear the imaging saying "It's my favorite station/they play the best music/etc."

On a tangent, is the KLWN translator on 101.7 blasting above its allotted power? I've heard it quite clearly in Johnson County recently.

Would a company that’s still in the process of selling off a station, one of which had an extension of the sale being filed for additional (at least) two months, hire staff? Highly unlikely.

Listen to the imaging for yourself. It gives off ‘temporary’ vibes.

 

[radiofan2023]

Some of the imaging is stuff such as, “Tell your parents about the new Kiss 105.9!”

The station was off the air this morning, but the stream is still going.

Got static passing through Northwest Douglas County (near their main transmitter) this morning (7/3)

Wonder what's going on. The stream and website are still active.

 

[SnottyNose799]

More technical problems or some new equipment being installed for the new owners' broadcast originating in KC?

 

[Mark Roberts]

My best guess would be that they're on the aux at the old KLZR site in Lawrence.

 

[TheRob]

They are supposedly on the auxiliary site again due to a lightning strike at the main site.

At least the main site won’t be struck by lightning again

 

[SnottyNose799]

Still no signal at all here, either very low or off.

 

[SnottyNose799]

105-9 KISS-FM is back

 

[SnottyNose799]

KKSW went back to off or very low yesterday...

I bet this is actually what's happening: The current owners could care less except for the FCC rules, so they just keep it off mostly, turning on every couple weeks so they don't need to file an FCC STA for silence.

Or they could just be having extremely bad luck with technical problems while trying to sell it...

Did you miss that post @SnottyNose799?

With the KKSW signal degraded, yesterday (7/18) I was able to pick up KXKU (106.1) with a strong enough signal to receive RDS data in eastern Shawnee County. This morning, I heard a weakened KKSW fight it out with a station playing Led Zeppelin in western Douglas County - I am presuming this was co-channel KKCD Omaha.
