Re: [IRCA] KOOR 1010 "How Long Can This Go On"

[Mike McKenna <way2twohot@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

And the answer is ---  your guess is as good as as it gets.   Rumors abound that Bustos is getting short on cash.  And with gas at $ 4.00 a gal.  --  you could say the same thing about anyone that owns a business.  ---  But the smaller radio station groups or owners -- have always done things -- "their way".  Anything that's "off the wall" -- to just down wright -- dumb.   KZPO -- FM --  a 300 watt -- Class "B-1" in Lindsay, California has been running the "Kings Radio" -- nostagia format for the last ten years.  About 3 spots per hour.  One announcer.  No other staff.  In fact the 84 year old salesman died two years ago.  But it is the number two rated station in the Fresno Market.   The FCC has forced the station to sell to a "minority"  -- but the proposed sale has been put on hold -- for the last 4 years.  Not only has the only sales person died -- but so has the "owner".   It makes just enough cash to pay the rent and electric bills.   As for the Portland 1010 -- only
 time will tell.  Just be glad that they are playing something other than spanish.
