Central & Eastern Oregon Radio Happenings

[paulwalker]

Former Bend jock, Bruce Cannon has passed away. He was a longtime fixture at KTAC Tacoma, and worked at various markets in the Northwest. A very good radio performer, a unique but likeable style. “Sugar Bruce” was a nickname, and yes, he was quite a sweet radio pro.

News from the “OPB Radio” video listing channel. KETP is on the air in Enterprise. Most likely went on in the Fall of 2010. http://cdbs.recnet.net:8080/fmq.php?call=KETP

Additionally, KHRV Hood River 90.1MHz must have switched to OPB about the same time.

KWEI Flips Spanish For Oldies

Sources tell ALL ACCESS that TREASURE VALLEY BROADCASTING Regional Mexican KWEI/BOISE, ID is flipping to Oldies.

Wow, no more Spanish on 99.5 KWEI, after all these years.

All-Elvis Stunt Portends Change In Boise

---

Changes are coming in BOISE, where TREASURE VALLEY BROADCASTING Regional Mexican KWEI-F (99.5 LA LEY) is stunting with an All-ELVIS PRESLEY format. The weekend stunt followed a brief period of looping RITCHIE VALENS’ “La Bamba” with a message saying that the Spanish-language programing will move to “1450 AM, LA RAZA.”

Meanwhile, at 1450 AM, sister Sports-Talk KIOV-A’s website has changed to a message saying that the syndicated DENNIS MILLER show “will return” TODAY “Live on 1260 A.M. KTRP”; 1260 has been home to Spanish Sports KWEI-A.

[semoochie]

The old 1230 in Burns, which most of us probably know from trying to get a job there, has applied to move to 1210, with 12KW(2 towers daytime).

Is Lars Larson still on KBND?

[jay_zie]

So what time is he live? Does he broadcast noon to 7? How is he in all of those time slots?

[Craig_Adams]

The Northwest Show is live: Noon to 3pm Pacific Time.

The National Show is live: 3pm to 6pm Pacific Time.

Some stations are in different time zones and some delay the show.

[jay_zie]

Does 750-AM air all 6 hours?

[semoochie]

No, they go to local news at 4PM. There’s a thought: They could run the rest of the national show, just on 750 and then go back to the simulcast.
