Re: [IRCA] KIRO-710 Format Change

Hey Bruce:

I gotta believe someone is going down, maybe KHHO. With KRKO boosting its
power, it stands a better chance, although with KIRO as an ESPN competitor
with the Mariners, who knows - KRKO may become redundant? Having 4 sports
stations in a market that is a lukewarm sports town (what was that
basketball team's name - the Sominex?) seems excessive, even though KHHO
and KRKO are technically in Tacoma and Everett, respectively.

At any rate, I stand a pretty good chance of QSLing the new KIRO, even
though I am a little over 10 miles from its transmitter.  Poor you, some
20 miles away, their 50,000 watts may not reach you...
