Re: [IRCA] 1660 WDAF Kansas City KS enquiry
Hello Scott
Many thanks for the clarification for which I will give you credit in my next column. I QSLed the KXTR call and see it a tad more valuable than a W call on this side of The Pond. Will KXTR go to 106.5 FM?

The FCC no longer enforces any restrictions on AM/FM simulcasting, so
yes, it would be permitted - but it's not what's happening here. The
106.5 facility is changing call letters, as it tries to ditch what's
perceived as the "old" WDAF calls and the heritage they carry, and
Entercom wants to keep the calls in the family, so they're moving them
to the classical AM on 1660, which will remain classical.
Rather a dumb move, if you ask me, since the KXTR calls that were on
1660 have a long classical heritage of their own in Kansas City, having
spent many decades in use on 96.5 FM there.
