Last week Nurse Jeff and I tuned to KMVP and found the Spanish language Bible thumping format was replaced by English language Bible thumping. Now we learn the $3m sale by TMISU has blown up, coming as absolutely no surprise given plunging radio values. So what's in store for 8~Sixty? A return to Sports Siberia whenever there's a play by play conflict? The endless loop telling you to set your dial to Sports Parking lot 6~Twenty? Colon Blow in Farsi? After shelling out all that dough to move the transmitter site, one thing's for certain: TMISU don't want this white elephant as evidenced by any mention of KMVP on their BBS web site. So as a public service, we've put in a call to Wonderful Russ to see if he can sell it!

What To Do With 8~Sixty?

Russ might have trouble selling this turkey in 44 weeks,
much less 44 days.
Just go dark and turn in the license. It will be one less
piece of failing, unneeded clutter on the AM dial.
And can you believe they're running I-CRAP on 860? :

Assuming TMISU are moving the transmitter site (otherwise, just take it dark), they could:
1. Sell it to Gumpdusky, so they could move the oldies out of the Lumberyard. Then they could sell 1440 to ASU.
2. Sell it to whoever owns KIDR, who could then move it to 860, taking 740 dark.
3. Sell it to Nova-M, who could then move their lib-talk to its 4th frequency in as many years (1010, 1480, 1190, 860).
4. Sell it to Clear Channel, who could then move KOY to 860, taking 1230 dark or selling it off.

Do "live" play-by-play of the Saturday Phoenix farmer's market each week then repeat the broadcast until the following Saturday.
There sure is a lot of time devoted to AM stations that not many people listen to here. Most board participants over 55? 65?

Correctamundo. We love our Lumberyard.

It’s important to realize that these boards do not attract average listeners. Generally speaking, the stations talked about most are the ones that are least listened to.
The primary participants here are radiogeeks (such as yours truly) and people in the business. I'm not sure which of those groups is dominant, but I suspect that it's the former.

I agree, Basnya. I got onto 1230 from overhearing a co-worker listen to it for the Sinatra. They play a lot of the oldies that KOOL used to play too. Kind of like 580 without Dan Babich and Ceale Peterson and The Arizona Nut House.
