Re: [IRCA] Denver radio change

I know of only one all-traffic station, 730 in Montreal, and I wonder how well it's working out in that market.  Kit, it sounds to me like what Denver could really use is an all-news station, with traffic checks and weather every 10 minutes throughout the day (a la WBBM's "traffic and weather together on the 8s").  Granted, WBBM, along with WCBS, KYW, WWJ, and KNX, all of which are other all-news stations, are CBS-owned, so it would take an ownership change for that to happen.  But surely CBS could swoop in (if it felt like doing so), buy KLZ, KHOW, or KOA, and convert it to all-news.  Three poli-talk stations in a market of Denver's size is, IMO, overkill.

As you may know KBUD (originally KDCO) has only been on the air for about a year.  The current owner is the third owner.  The second owner sold it very quickly after buying it from the original owner, and I mean within a matter of days.  I think it was the second owner who applied for the 5 KW day upgrade, so the current owner may or may not follow through with it.  Since he sold the translator, I would say it's a safe bet that he is now trying to sell the AM.  It's probably just as safe a bet that the AM will end up being sports, religion, or Mexican, none of which are needed in this market.  What this market could use is an all traffic station since the traffic is so bad here.

In case nobody saw it, Salem just bought KDDZ 1690 from Disney, but so far it still has R. Disney on it.  There are already so many religious stations in this market, it's hard to believe another one is coming shortly.  One has to wonder how they all survive.

And as I have said before, I still find it stupid that a 50 KW 1-A thinks they need a piddling little 250 watt FM translator.  Oh well...

Never heard here in IL. I'd hoped 990 watts ND days could make it by sunset skip (Dir Night pattern is bad to me) but it never did. They have a CP for 5 kW ND days. If that is the plan, I assume someone might make a viable station out of them?

>Our local pot station is gone.  (Awwwwww...)  The station known as Smokin' 94.1, which is actually a translator on 94.1 that was simulcasting KBUD 1550 Golden, is now a simulcast of KOA.  An application has been filed to sell the translator to KOA, so it appears to be a permanent change.  Meanwhile, KBUD 1550 is now silent.  No sale application has been filed yet for the AM.  I doubt that many stoners would listen to AM, so look for it to be sold very soon.
