Looks like Snohomish County failed to approve the CUP and use of the new proposed KRKO site.

No, that's NOT the case, and there's a lot of confusion going on here.

After years of legal battles, KRKO *did* finally win permission a few months back to start construction on the new site in the Upper Snohomish Valley. That site is now almost finished, and should be on the air within a few months.

In the meantime, though, KRKO's owner, Andy Skotdal, also applied for a new signal licensed to Snohomish on 1520, and is now fighting with the county for permission to add two MORE towers to the new KRKO site for the new 1520 signal.

It's THAT project, not KRKO itself, that failed to win a permit last week. But that denial doesn't affect the construction and operation of KRKO itself from that site, and Andy is continuing to battle with the county to get the additional towers built for 1520. He doesn't give up, and is well-funded for a long fight, so I'd expect him to win that one, too, in the end.

(This is all straight from Andy himself, who ought to know!)
