Unless a transmitter site move is involved - 50 miles is as good as any although some use other values, I would view this as analogous to a call change.

I heard WKPR Kalamazoo on 1440 this
morning. I've previously logged WDOW in nearby Dowagiac but
had never yet logged WKPR till now.
I don't count call changes. But I'm not sure what this
situation represents. This info from Wikipedia is the best
summary I've found thus far to describe the situation.
Curious for any opinions...with thanks.
WDOW (1440 AM) was a radio station licensed to Dowagiac,
Michigan, broadcasting a sports radio format. According to
Michguide.com, Kalamazoo Broadcasting (aka Kuiper
Broadcasting), owner of WKPR AM 1420 Kalamazoo, is paying
$80,000 to Langford Broadcasting as part of an agreement
that would take WDOW off the air permanently and have WKPR
move to AM 1440 and increase power in November 2010. On
March 24, 2011, the Federal Communications Commission
cancelled WDOW's license and deleted the call sign from its
database.
