I am getting 105.5 The River out of Modesto pretty good around Fresno.

Maybe they are realizing THE TRUTH, very low ratings, even lower than KMJ-FM, maybe it's time to try a music format again, perhaps an Oldies Format to replace KABX, "That 60s station format" they had a few years ago for about 6 month actually had better numbers than they are now and was beating KABX in Fresno at that time.
It's back now. Maybe it was a technical issue or upgrade. It sounds a little better at home without the hiss. That is just me. I will really put it to the test when I am in the car and driving around town.
The owners of 105.5 have their heads in the sand. They never should have moved from Bear Springs Mtn. Had great coverage - but bad formats.

MisterGort, You must be confused about another station, 105.5 has always been located South/East of of Kerman near Manning Ave and Jameson Ave. , and 105.5 can't be moved to any mountain site do to 105.1, 105.9, and 104.9.mofocat said:

The original application for 105.5 did have the station's TL located in the West Hills Mountains near I-5 west of San Joaquin, but that was changed later.

Too bad!! If they made portable home radio tuners with better selectivity, I would be a happy camper! ;D
105.5 B-1 - was first located on Bear Springs Mtn -- WEST of I-5 at + 2300 feet and full 25 KW ERP. This is the NEW site of KBHH - 95.3 A - Kerman. Bear Springs provides Kerman with a 70 dBu -- even with just 6 KW ERP. A far better site than any other tower located within the valley.

I believe that was where KZLA 98.3 had there original CP when they were licensed to Huron, but KZLA 98.3 has changed there COL to Riverdale and has a CP near Mountain View and Jamison with 25K at 329 ft. I wonder how that will work with LP K-Love 98.3 in Madera.
Oh wait K-love (EMF) may own it now and consolidate, eliminating the Madera 10 watts signal to have another large overlaping signal of there product.
The site in question, Bear Springs would benefit the west Valley, but in Metro Fresno and Clovis it's to far away to have a good signal.
Sorry. The only stations to ever use the Bear Springs site are KBHH - 95.3 Kerman and 105.5 B1 San Joaquin. The 98.3 A Huron station used a site in downtown Huron and had applied for several other sites on the west hills -- but never built any of them.

KZLA was granted a CP on Sept. 23 to change COL to Riverdale and to build a new TL site just west of Riverdale on Mountain View Ave serving Metro Fresno with 25k watts, much like 105.5, like I said before that site Bear Springs, Where KBHH is moving to is only good in the West Valley, 105.5 could haved used that it in the beginning when they were Classic Country The Wolf, but I remember 105.5 was weaker in the beginning, in N/E Fresno and Clovis, I'll say it again that site is to far away for The Fresno (Metro) market.
What format is that KZLA. Spanish? Hip-Hop? Going from 100 watts to 25k watts, it is for sure going to be geared for Fresno. So, my listening enjoyment to listening to 98.5 The Fox while going down the 99 will be greatly diminished now. THANKS!
95.3 was putting our a pretty decent signal (NE Fresno/Clovis) yesterday around 3 or so... Same owners? Same Spanish to come? Can we all beg for something, anything, local and different from what's on the air now? I've the 100.3 the Sound on all day and work and need something, anything on FM for the drive to/from work.
Oh, the Bee's latest rant (today's paper) on Robot Radio was well deserved.
Gimmie Opperman and Fischer in the morning (again)....

KBHH, 95.3, is owned by the UFW, same as 90.5, KUFW. Look for a simulcast of 90.5. I was playin with the Longly-Rice prediction app yesterday and don't really believe the results when I input the specs. 70dbu reaching Fresno with 6kw from the West side hills?? Could that be right? Didn't check a reciever,
guess I shoudl've, if they were on testing yesterday.
I don't think the Coarsegold 94.5 signal is as good as what Longley-Rice predicted. Double checked the specs entered and just don't see the results given as being the realty on that one at my Sunnyside location.
Gort's assessment of that TX site as having excellent coverage looks to be right-on, if the L-R prediction (and the reality) is close to accurate. Guess we'll soon see if reality holds up to the prediction. Full power @ 2000'+ is pretty impressive. How far is it from Kerman? 35 or 40 miles?? For a class A to put a city grade signal at that distance is really impressive.

KBHH 95.3 is on the air,and it is the same as 90.5 KUFW, but the signal in Clovis is shadowed in a lot of areas, that new sight is just to far for a 6KW station, maybe good for a 25KW station though.
