It’s the 5-kw fulltime station that Pappas Radio of Modesto built
to essentially replace the 860 (KTRB) that it moved into the San
Francisco market. KMPH hit the air in July 2006, originally playing
“Modern Standards” and then in March 2008 switching to a conservative
talk approached named Patriot 840. Now Pappas Radio says it’s going
to sign the station off at 9am Pacific time on Tuesday, August 31.
Jim Pappas blames that on “the ongoing national, state and local
economic downturn, combined with the insufficient growth in revenue”
at the 5-kw AM. He says “the company is no longer willing to fund”
the station’s operating losses. His letter ends with this promise –
“when future circumstances permit, KMPH-AM will return to the
airwaves.” One problem for the four-year-old station: very different
day and night patterns. The daytime signal goes Southeast and, with
what the engineers call a tight null to northwest, doesn’t hit
Stockton very well. The nighttime signal goes north and south,
centered on Modesto (radio-info.com via Artie Bigley, DX LISTENING
