[IRCA] Mystery Station: The All New 1470, KWID AM

["John H. Bryant" <bjohnorcas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On December 30, on 1470 kHz at 1400UTC (8:00 AM local time here in 
Oklahoma) I logged a "pop-up" ID that was as plain as day, at a 
decent level. After the ID, a TOH news program began and things 
deteriorated rather quickly, never to return. The other two of the 
Three Okies have each listened to the recording independently and we 
all three hear exactly the same thing:

"Today's Hits, Today's ------, The All New 1470, KWID AM....." and 
then the news starts. Its possible that the announcer said, "KWYD" 
but otherwise we are pretty sure that is exactly what was said. The 
only problem is that we find no record of such a station.

The FCC shows a KWID FM in Las Vegas, NV, owned by Lotus 
Communications.  Lotus owns a Texas TV station.... but the announcer 
CLEARLY says "KWID AM" The FCC shows no records for a KWYB, either.

I should add that there is a KWRD-1470 in Henderson, TX.  All three 
Okies have heard that station in the last ten days. It generally uses 
th slogan "The Heartbeat of East Texas" and IDs as KWRD.

I've not kept up with CPs and new stations going on the air and 
suspect that the FCC database is not 100% up to date.... but I just 
don't have any other ideas..... and the "All New 1470, KWID AM" kind 
of hints at a new station... Could that be it?  HELP!

Outta ideas on North Central Oklahoma.
