Re: [IRCA] WHAT 1210

[David Faulkner <drdsfaulkner@xxxxxxxxx>]

I recall talking to their morning man when they first moved to 1210 (from 1490, as I recall)  I lived in Lead, SD, and Afton was already on w/5 kw.  He told me they were originally licensed for 25K daytime, but decided to reduce it to 10K because nobody made 25K transmitters and they didn't want to buy a 50K and probably never need that much power.  I never quite knew whether to believe that, though I suppose there really isn't much demand for 25K transmitters, even now.

At local sunset this evening I logged WHAT 1210, Laramie WY, playing country music.  It was first heard at 2359 UTC with an iD including a FM frequency of 
92.3 and slogan "Bucket 92".  The signal was mixing with KOKK, Huron SD.  At 0011, I again heard a "Bucket 92" ID.  At 0012-0013, there were ads for Laramie 
GM and AAA Recycling & Salvage, north of Laramie.  At 0015 they gave the ID "Bucket Country right now on Bucket 92" followed by country music.  At 0016 the 
signal faded under KGYN, Guymon OK.

All information I can find indicates WHAT is an ESPN Sports station.  Does this mean a format change?

WHAT has a FM translator, K222BL, in Laramie, on 92.3.

It was the first time I've heard WHAT.  ULR station #966 on a barefoot Sony SRF-T615.
