Looks like time has run out on another FM CP in the Central Valley. 91.9 B! - Tulare -- KPSV-FM has yet to appear on the airwaves. Only 5 more days - and then you can put KPSV-FM down in the books as a "never built" radio station.

Where is KPSV-FM
- Thread starter MisterGort
- Start date
Bet they file for a license to cover and then file to go silent. A lot of CPs do this but they were never really on the air.
Well -- IF --- the South Valley Peace Center does do that -- I am sure that some very nice person will come forward and let the FCC know the truth. I don't think that the SVPC , owners of KPSV-FM would lie to the FCC. The proposed site uses a tall AT&T Cell Tower, 6 miles south of Corcoran. Anyone could check out the new tower site. And the SVPC will have to provide a site lease to the FCC at some point.
I bet the CP will never be built and just fade away into the out going trash.

What about 98.3 KZLA, isn't that one going soon too, I bet their are some local interest in it, maybe John O.
The KZLA class B1 CP at Riverdale will expire on 10/05/2013. Just a couple of months away.
I have no idea if the KZLA Class A -- 100 watt station in downtown Huron is even on the air -- or silent. Can someone confirm the status of KZLA in Huron ???

I don't think anything was ever built in Huron, I never heard any signal other than 98.3 K-love a 9 watt repeater in Madera, I have had a directional antenna pointed towards that direction for the Central Coast, KZOZ93.3, 92.5 , KSLY 96.1, Oldies 104.5, but nothing on 98.3, I read something about a 10 watt repeater for KOKO 94.3 somewhere on radio-locator though.mofocat said:
I do remember something about Chris claiming he had that LP in Huron along with one in Avenal.
KZLA is licensed as a 100 watt class A station - with two translators from the same location at the downtown Huron transmitter site - on 101.7 and 107.9.
KOKO - 94.3 has an "on channel booster" located in Fresno. i have no idea about any translator for KOKO. The 107.9 in Huron is licensed to KZLA - not KOKO.
Only ONE more day for KPSV - FM.

Learn something new every day, wonder where that is located. No info on radio-locator, I did notice the CP. Have any idea why KOKO has a CP for what seems to be a downgrade?
OK -- it is NOT a downgrade. An on channel -- "Booster" is a mini-repeater or mini-re-broadcast station that operates at the same time - and on the same channel -- to a much smaller specific coverage area -- that the main transmitting station can not cover. Both signals do not "over-lapp" each other at any time. The Fresno area "booster" is to provide service only to a very limited or small area that the main signal can not cover. It is NOT a downgrade. Both stations will operate at the same time - on the same channel.
The downgrade I was speaking of was the CP for 2300 watts out of Kerman verses at 6000 watts out of Kerman. Perhaps you mean the on channel booster will offset any loss?
Or do you mean the 2300 watt will run at the same time as the 6000 watt?

You're a bit wrong.. a booster, which is on the same channel does overlap with the main transmitter. You see, a booster is used to fill in a coverage "hole" that the main station can't hit because of terrain, tall buildings or etc.
The booster must be inside the 60dbu of the main signal.
Brett, You must have better eyes than I do -0R looking at some other station. KOKO has only one license for 6 KW + 100 meters HAAT (the main station) and an on channel booster in Fresno for 265 watts. Not 2,300 watts. The FCC data base shows no such station.
As for the "over-lapp", there will be no listenable interference of the two signals. At least - that is how it is intended to work.

Yes, I remember that, It was somewhere near Biola (Shaw and Dickenson), the move would have put it closer to Fresno, and I think the reason for the lower power was do to the distance to KSKS 93.7.
Has anyone checked the tower at Rd 16 & Ave 128, Corcoran, CA to see if there is an antenna there? The application states:
The applicant proposes mounting a new antenna on an existing 67 meter tower. The proposed center of radiation is 50m AGL. A Shively 6810 4-bay antenna is anticipated

KPSV-FM is now GONE. No antenna mounted on the AT&T tower south of Corcoran. Inside information says that the SVPC sent a letter to the FCC - on Friday, Aug. 9, 2013 requesting more time to construct station, because AT&T was working on the tower doing some sort of maintenace and that prevented mounting of the required DA antenna on the tower. No request noted in the FCC data. CP has expired.
