[IRCA] 1340 in Santa Barbara is now non-commercial



California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks, CA has an FM on 88.3 (KCLU). They bought KIST-1340 in Santa Barbara to simulcast. Their four watt FM translator (K272DT) above Santa Barbara doesn't make it into some buildings. Today must be the first day they're operating the station. 1340 was the usual liberal talk yesterday but is //KCLU tonight.

They may have changed the FM call letters to KCLU-FM and the AM to KCLU. I'll check at the next TOH and report back.

If you hear NPR or public radio programming on 1340 that's Santa Barbara. They used to have their own tower and they got out great. Now they're using the same tower as two other stations; the tower of KBKO-1490. Neither one is logged much anymore. KZSB-1290 also uses that tower. Trimulcasts are pretty rare. Of course 1340 and 1490 are graveyard frequencies so  they're non-directional. KZSB is also non-directional.

Also a reminder that if you hear the BBC World Service on 1290 between midnight and 6:00 AM Pacific time that's KZSB in Santa Barbara.
