WKQW Oil City

T

Tim

Unless my mind is playing tricks on me (always a possibility), I would've sworn I heard 1120AM WKQW in Oil City, Pa. seguing 50's and 60's top 40 oldies this evening...heard legal ID at 9:02pm.

Every data base/AM log online I see says WKQW is a 1,000-watt daytimer...no nighttime power...unless it just happened recently.

Anybody in western Pa. know for sure?

Thanks.

Heard here in northern Ohio during the auroral solar flares.
 
When 1340 WOYL and Grove City College Turned in Their License I Suggested to the Owners of WKQW They move to 1340. Looks like it Fell on Deaf's Ear.
 
They probably heard you, but things like that take money, and they are ones that don't like to spend it.

They have some great properties, but won't do anything to upkeep them. I'm surprised they haven't been bought out by now.

It's not a matter of upkeep so much as it is that Venango County is a tough market that's underpopulated but oversaturated with signals and not enough revenue coming in. It's tough for a mom-and-pop to go up against Forever/Keymarket, which owns all the other signals in that county. Steve Olszowka managed to do it, but he drops dead of a heart attack eight years ago at 54. It makes you wonder if it's worth the fight.
 
I'm in Vermilion, OH (about 35 miles west of Cleveland) and I'm hearing WKQW 1120 at this hour when I null out KMOX. They're playing 'Dancing in the Moonlight' by King Harvest
