KYLZ (currently 104.9 in Cache Valley and supposedly becoming a rimshot on 104.7 from Humpy) has refiled for boosters along the Wasatch. I wonder if they're finally going to move like they were supposed to 2 years ago.
I understand that Millcreek has had a lot of problems recently, but when is enough enough? They committed to doing something, namely going on the air from Humpy, and they haven't done it. It's just another example of the FCC being a toothless clawless paper tiger. What good is a regulatory agency when everyone just goes ahead and does whatever they want regardless?

I've been wondering when KNYN is going to move to Humpy but Radio-locator doesn't show the CP it once had.
I heard somewhere that the owner of the land on Humpy doesn't like people coming up there, even if they have things up there. Maybe it takes two years for that guy or gal to change their mind and allow the radio station to go up there.
If it were me, and I owned that land, I wouldn't care whether or not some radio engineer is up on the mountain, just as long as the road was gated.

You mean like KMCQ- "Covington" moving from The Dalles, Oregon to "Covington" aka Seattle-Tacoma-Olympia, Wash. and signing on with an antenna on wheels and running a terrible automated CD/computer format to maintain 'license to cover' before it will likely go off air for 'financial difficulties'? *sigh* Or KEZQ-FM Island Park/KWYS-FM West Yellowstone being re-purposed to serve the public of Idaho Falls, Rexburg, etc. but then going off the air for "transmitter damage" and only returning briefly every 2? years to keep the license active?!? How is that providing people with a source of local information where TV and even cell phone coverage is almost non-existent? Bleh. |

The KNYN/KGNT part got scuttled because of the question of Kent Frandsen losing his grandfathered status for being over market concentration. Originally KNYN's facility on 99.1 was going to move to the Logan market and stay on that frequency. KGNT's facility was going to stay put on 103.9 and move to Humpy. Problem was that KGNT was grandfathered in the Logan market but KNYN was not. Instead, KGNT stays put physically and moves to 99.1 while KNYN moves to 103.9 and goes on Humpy. The end result is exactly the same, but the way you get there is different and that makes the difference. That's just FCC bureaucratic nonsense. If you go to www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/audio/fmq.html you can plug in KGNT and KNYN and see the current applications that are still pending. |
