Burns Radio

On a car radio Boise FM is spotty.
580 630 670 & 730 are all listenable if the RFI isn’t bad.

Radio-Locator is often plagued with inaccuracies, but is this a reasonably accurate description of the radio situation there?

Boise Bill how does 1260am off the Payette Stick get into Burns? (Daytime of course) Also did the previous Burns owner just walk away or did they sell off equipment, etc. Too bad there’s no LOCAL radio voice down there now.

Radio Locator? Near useless for any kind of definitive research.

On Facebook the owner of the Burns stations Leighton Munroe Reed Nickerson made a statement about what happened.
Basically, no business support.
Crappy economy.
Turned 70.
Cut his losses & shut ’em down.
Moved to Australia.
