Maybe somebody will buy KMCQ and move it back to The Dalles where it belongs.
“Maybe somebody will buy KMCQ and move it back to The Dalles where it belongs. “
Even if that were remotely likely, it can’t be done. The FCC has already back-filled 104.5 in The Dalles with a C2 allotment at Moro, OR.
KIRO-FM is looking for a new PD as their one-year ops manager heads back to Phoenix.

FIRST BROADCASTING CAPITAL PARTNERS, LLC’s Oldies KMCQ/COVINGTON, WA and CINCINNATI-area Adult Hits WAOL (MAX FM)/RIPLEY, OH, and Spanish Variety WOXY (LA MEGA 97.7, LMAd to TSJ MEDIA)/MASON, OH are being assigned to QUEEN CITIES BROADCASTING LLC, the successful bidder for the stations’ assets at a foreclosure auction on FEBRUARY 23rd (NET NEWS 2/24). The bid was conditioned on a Transition Agreement to transfer the licenses as well, and includes a management agreement for the assignee before closing. QUEEN CITIES is a “Trust Controlled Entity” backed by lender CAPITALSOURCE INC.
So, the person who won the auction was buying the station? Hmmm….
So RobP is fully of awesome.
Jeez, are you STILL sore over that post? Maybe you should change your handle ‘cuz clearly you can’t handle “the_truth”!
You would have had to hurt someone to make them sore, but you are just an impotent mess.. Keep reaching for the stars RobP, and maybe someone will believe you!
Have a great night, Jesus loves you!

FCC Rejects Challenges To New Washington State AM
The battle over the construction of new AM towers in the SNOHOMISH RIVER VALLEY of WASHINGTON has led to the FCC rejecting local environmentalists’ challenges to the application of CAAM PARTNERSHIP, LLC for a new AM station at SNOHOMISH, WA.
The new station is co-located with S-R BROADCASTING Sports KRKO-A/EVERETT, WA but will require two additional towers to be constructed in the flood plain. Several objections to the plans were filed, including by some of the same parties that opposed KRKO’s towers.

PACIFIC LUTHERAN UNIVERSITY, INC. is selling the construction permit for KPLK/MANSON, WA to WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY for $4,000.

KING-F/Seattle Accelerates Move To Noncommercial Status
CLASSIC RADIO, INC. Classical KING-F/SEATTLE has announced that its transition from commercial to noncommercial operation is moving forward so well that the changeover will be official in MAY rather than JULY, as previously scheduled.
SEATTLEP-I.COM reports that the station’s GM JENNIFER RIDEWOOD said, “The shift to a non-commercial station will allow us more air-time for classical music, more support for the arts and an expanded education mission. With the help of SEATTLE’s strong community of classical music supporters, we will be enhancing the BULLITT sisters’ vision of a permanent classical radio station held as a community asset.”
Ahh, the Bullitt sisters and their feisty mom Dorothy. We don’t hear enough about them. They had what it takes, and they knew how to use it.

(Some good Portland nuggets, too)
Does anybody know anything about KCFL (“Super CFL”) broadcasting oldies on 101.1 in the Olympia area? I heard them yesterday on I-5 from about milepost 125 down to about milepost 93 where KXL overtook them. Radio-locator.com has them licensed to Elma on 91.3. It sounds like a hobby station, although quite well done…good mix of oldies with WCFL “Super CFL” jingles.
Incidentally, 103.3 in Olympia has a retro-KGHO running oldies. Another good sounding noncommercial oldies effort.
