DISH Network has resumed carrying the "My9" channel from KBJR (Superior-Duluth). "My9" had been dropped when KBJR moved it from DT2 to DT3 last August as KBJR-DT2 became the market's CBS affiliate. Carriage of a DT3 channel on satellite is rare; there are apparently only a couple of markets nationwide with a DT3 channel on DISH. DirecTV does not carry the channel. The "My9" lineup includes college and high school sports, syndicated shows, and 18 hours per weekday of Decades network. (2/21/2017)
WLUK (Green Bay) has added TBD TV on channel 11.3. The new network is operated by WLUK owner Sinclair Broadcast Group. (2/21/2017)
WHSM/910 (Hayward) has segued from Adult Gold to Adult Contemporary as "96-9 The Cabin" following the launch of FM translator W245CT/96.9, which was moved to Hayward under the AM revitalization filing window. The new format includes gold going back to the `70s and is music-intensive, taking on Vacationland Broadcasting's heritage AC outlet WRLS/92.3 (Hayward). However, W245CT's signal is weaker than WRLS in rural areas surrounding Hayward where many vacation cabins are located. WHSM and "Muskie Country 101" (WHSM-FM/101.1) are owned by Zoe Communications, which bought the stations last year. The Adult Gold format had launched five months ago. (2/19/2017)
Evanov Communications has dropped its "Jewel" Light Adult Contemporary format from CFJL-FM/100.5 (Winnipeg) and launched "Hot 100.5, `90s and More." The station's press release describes it as "the perfect blend of Pop, Rock, R&B and Dance classics that the city is yearning to hear once again." The move from "Jewel" to "Hot" marks more fragmentation of different eras of pop music on the Winnipeg dial. Corus Entertainment's recently-launched "Peggy @ 99.1" (CJGV-FM) plays `80s hits and current Adult Contemporary songs but very little `90s or 2000's, while Rogers Communications' "102.3 Kiss FM" (CKY-FM) focuses mostly on recent Hot AC hits with some `90s and 2000's. Bell Media's "103.1 Virgin Radio" (CKMM-FM) and Evanov's "Energy 106" (CHWE-FM) play Contemporary Hits. Four other stations play different mixes of Rock hits from the `70s to 2000's. (2/18/2017)
TV Ontario has decided to keep transmitters in Thunder Bay and seven other communities on the air after public outcry led to increased funding. The taxpayer-funded network, which has programming similar to PBS in the United States, had previously announced plans to shut down all of its transmitters outside of Toronto in cost-cutting move that would have saved about $1 million per year. According to a new blog post from TVO's CEO, the network was able to get additional provincial government funding after complaints from viewers and donors. The network had already silenced more than 100 transmitters five years ago, ending broadcast service to other areas of northwestern Ontario. TVO repeater CICO-TV9 is one of three channels available over the air in Thunder Bay; the others are CTV and Global affiliates. (2/17/2017)
Catholic broadcaster Real Presence Radio is buying KBPG/89.5 (Montevideo) from the American Family Assocation for $13,000. The 500-Watt station has carried American Family Radio since its 2002 sign-on. Real Presence Radio, based in Grand Forks, owns nine other full-power stations in the Upper Midwest. (2/16/2017)
The core Twin Cities signal for Educational Media Foundation's "Air 1" Christian Rock network is off the air due to interference complaints from another Christian broadcaster. A notification of suspension of operations filed with the FCC says W225AP/92.9 (St. Paul-Minneapolis) left the air on Jan. 17 due to complaints from Gabriel Communications' "Spirit 92.9" (KKJM St. Joseph-St. Cloud). KKJM says the interference began when W225AP moved its transmitter from St. Paul to the Wells Fargo Center in Minneapolis two years ago. An interference complaint sent to the FCC in December cites complaints from four listeners at eleven locations in the northwestern metro and Wright County. Since translators are considered a secondary class, they are required to resolve interference complaints from any listener to a full-power station. EMF's filing says it is working to resolve the interference problem and hopes to have W225AP "back on the air before too long." "Air 1" can also be heard in the north metro on K249ED/97.7, which transmits from Oak Grove. (2/15/2017)
Legacy Communications is buying a third FM translator in the Grand Island area. Legacy will pay Community Broadcasting $40,000 for K278BR/103.5 (Grand Island), which the seller no longer needs after signing on KCVG/89.9 (Hastings) to carry its Bott Radio Network. The application to transfer the license states that K278BR will relay the HD4 channel of Legacy's KRGI-FM/96.5. Legacy also owns K227BQ/93.3 (Grand Island) and the company is in the process of moving K260BK/99.9 from Hastings to Grand Island. (2/15/2017)
South Dakota Public Broadcasting is adding simulcasts of its two radio services on its TV stations, expanding the availability of Classical music to those who don't have HD radios. The 15 TV transmitters (9 full-power) are carrying SDPB Radio on their DT5 channels and SDPB Classical on DT6. SDPB Radio has one network of 20 transmitters (11 full-power) carrying News/Talk programming and evening Jazz and Adult Alternative programs on its analog and HD1 signals. The 24-hour Classical service is available on the HD2 channels of most of the radio stations. (2/12/2017)
Kirkwood Community College, the owner of KCCK/88.3 (Cedar Rapids), has filed an informal objection to a proposed upgrade by a future station that's only two notches up the dial. As previously reported here, Plus Charities' KMMK/88.7 (Coggon) is seeking a "Raleigh waiver" to upgrade to 25kW/94m (class C3), adding most of Cedar Rapids to its 60 dbu contour. Normal rules would prohibit the upgrade due to KMMK's proximity to KCCK and KXGM-FM/89.1 (Hiawatha-Cedar Rapids), but a "Raleigh waiver" allows an upgrade for non-commercial FM stations when the actual interference to other non-commercial stations would be minimal. However, KCCK says KMMK's application is flawed because FCC precedent says the waiver can only be used to upgrade existing stations, not new stations. KMMK is not yet on the air. (2/11/2017)
Several new low-power FM stations are on the air carrying Christian radio network Radio 74 Internationale in Nebraska. They are KAQQ-LP/99.9 (Alliance), KBDP-LP/99.9 (Bridgeport), KQQO-LP/97.7 (Ogallala), and KQSI-LP/89.5 (Sidney). All are owned by local groups caled Adventist Learning Center of (community name). Additionally, the network's website lists two LPFM stations that recently signed on in Crete: Crete Progressive Educational Broadcasting's KCPJ-LP/105.7 and Greater Crete Commercial Free Radio's KGCO-LP/107.9. The extent of the Crete stations' carriage of Radio 74 is unclear. (2/9/2017)
Sovereign Communications is expanding to Escanaba with the purchase of WDBC/680 and WYKX/104.7 from KMB Broadcasting. The asset purchase agreement says the $866,000 purchase price is subject to adjustment and includes approximately $246,000 that the buyer has spent, or will spend, improving the stations' tower and transmission facilities. WDBC carries Soft Oldies and WYKX is "Kix Country." They primarily compete with five Radio Results Network stations owned by AMC Partners Escanaba, LLC. Sovereign Communications owns 15 other radio stations in the Upper Peninsula. (2/8/2017)
The sale price for WRRD/1510 (Waukesha-Milwaukee) is $760,000, according to an asset purchase agreement filed with the FCC. New WRRD LLC, headed by talk show host Michael Crute, is buying the station from Craig Karmazin's Good Karma Broadcasting, which retains WAUK/540 (Jackson-Milwaukee). The new owner flipped the station to a Liberal Talk format on Feb. 1 under a time brokerage agreement. The sale agreement gives the buyer the option of leasing studio space from the seller. (2/7/2017)
W221BS/92.1 (St. Paul) is now relaying the `60s and `70s Oldies format of WDGY/740 (Hudson-St. Paul) following the translator's transfer to WDGY owner Gregory Borgen/630 Radio Inc. Borgen moved the translator to Wells Fargo Place in downtown St. Paul and upgraded it to 80 Watts, delivering a strong signal to St. Paul and some suburbs and fringe coverage of Minneapolis. WDGY is also relayed on W279DD/103.7 (Hudson) in the far east metro, a translator which was moved in during last year's AM revitalization filing window. Borgen got W221BS in a trade with the Educational Media Foundation for K288GR/105.5 (Bayport-Hudson); EMF no longer needed W221BS after upgrading another translator. (2/6/2017)
Jubilation Ministries, owner of WJUB/1420 (Plymouth) and WSTM/91.3 (Kiel-Plymouth), is merging into Evangel Ministries, which owns several other stations in Wisconsin. Both are non-profit corporations. No cash is trading hands, but Evangel will assume all of Jubilation's assets and liabilities. WSTM carries Praise and Worship music, while WJUB airs Adult Standards with Christian features. They join existing Evangel stations WEMY/91.5 (Green Bay), WEMI/91.9 (Appleton), and WGNV/88.5 (Milladore-Wausau). (2/6/2017)
The price for the latest sale of WJMT/730 (Merrill) is $75,000, according to an asset purchase agreement filed with the FCC. WRVM, Inc. is flipping the station to Steven Resnick's Sunrise Broadcasting LLC, after buying it from Quicksilver Broadcasting along with WMZK/104.1 (Merrill-Wausau) in a $260,000 deal. WRVM is retaining WMZK and flipping it to its Christian network. WJMT is being operated by its new owners under a local marketing agreement and flipped the music elements of its format from Classic Country to Oldies as "Bluejay 730." Sunrise Broadcasting also owns an AM-FM combo in the Wausau market. (2/6/2017)
Sinclair Broadcast Group's WUCW/23 (Minneapolis) has announced plans to change programming on two of its subchannels on March 1. 23.3 will switch from Grit to Charge!, a new action/adventure network. 23.4 will drop getTV for TBD TV, a network of web-based and short-form programming. Sinclair has ownership interest in both new networks along with Comet, which is carried on 23.2. WUCW is a primary CW affiliate. (2/3/2017)
One of Des Moines' four Country stations has changed frequency and rebranded. What was "96.5 Country" (K243CA Millman) is now "96.9 The Bull, Des Moines' New Country" (K245CO), with an upgrade from 102 to 250 Watts in the process. The format originates on the HD2 signal of iHeartMedia's KDRB/100.3 (Des Moines). "The Bull" competes with Cumulus Media's heritage full-power outlets "92.5 Nash Icon" (KJJY) and "97.3 Nash FM" (KHKI), along with Saga Broadcasting's HD2-translator outlet "93.7 The Outlaw." Regular readers may recall that iHeartMedia had originally applied to move a translator from Iowa City to Des Moines on 96.9 to relay an AM station, but the application was dismissed when the underlying permit expired. iHeartRadio then applied for the K243CA move. (1/30/2017)
SagamoreHill Broadcasting is buying the construction permit for KGLU-LD/17 (Ottumwa) from DTV America for $71,000. SagamoreHill does not have any existing stations in the Kirksville-Ottumwa market, nor do any of the companies SagamoreHill partners with in other markets. (1/29/2017)
New Bott Radio Network station KCVG/89.9 (Hastings-Grand Island) is on the air. The station transmits with 16kW/99m (class C3) from a tower south of Grand Island. It may appear to be a new station to many listeners in the area, but it's actually the license of Hastings College's former KFKX/90.1 (Hastings), which the college sold to Bott parent Community Broadcasting after the college ended its radio program earlier this year. Bott changed the callsign and frequency of the station, and moved it to a different tower site with more power. (1/29/2017)
A new owner has announced plans to flip WRRD/1510 (Waukesha-Milwaukee) from ESPN Deportes to Liberal Talk. Mike Crute, co-host of the nationally-syndicated Devil's Advocates Radio, is buying the station from Good Karma Broadcasting, which has operated WRRD alongside ESPN affiliate WAUK/540 (Jackson-Milwaukee). Details of the sale are not yet available in the FCC's public database. According to a Facebook page created for the new format, "News/Talk 1510" will debut Feb. 1 with a lineup including Stephanie Miller from 8 to 11 a.m., Thom Hartmann from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., a Wisconsin-only version of Devil's Advocates Radio at 2, the national version of the Devil's Advocates from 3 to 5 p.m. The lineup also includes WestwoodOne newscasts and a three-hour show from Earl Ingram on Saturdays. Crute discussed his plans in a Citizen Action of Wisconsin podcast. The Devil's Advocates were previously heard on "92.1 The Mic" (WXXM Sun Prairie-Madison) until iHeartRadio dropped the format in November; WRRD's 23kW daytime signal has fringe coverage of Madison as well as the Fox Valley. The station is off the air at night, but its Facebook page says it will stream online 24/7. (1/27/2017)
For the first time in the Upper Midwest, and possibly the first time nationally, the FCC has granted a market modification expanding a station's satellite coverage area. Distribution of the CBS and FOX channels from Gray TV's WSAW/7 (Wausau) will be extended north into Ashland and Iron Counties after the FCC granted a market modification under the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act Reauthorization (STELAR) Act of 2014. Gray argued that the counties, which are within the Duluth-Superior market, are "orphan counties" because the majority of the TV signals in the market are from Minnesota. The decision shows that counties can be declared "orphans" even if one of their market's major network affiliates (in this case, KBJR-TV Superior) is licensed in the same state. Two Duluth stations unsuccessfully argued against Gray's proposal, citing their own coverage of news, weather, and sports in the area. (Full disclosure: your reporter is employed at one of those stations, WDIO). Under the FCC decision, DISH Network will be required to offer WSAW throughout Ashland and Iron Counties; DirecTV will be required to offer the station in all of Iron County but only in the southern part of Ashland County after showing that its Wausau spotbeam could not adequately reach northern Ashland County. (1/27/2017)
In what's becoming a somewhat regular feature, here's a look at recently-launched digital TV subchannels:
WMZK/104.1 (Merrill-Wausau) and WJMT/730 (Merrill) have gone silent following WRVM, Inc. closing on its deal to buy the stations from Quicksilver Broadcasting. According to a press release provided to RadioInsight, WMZK will join WRVM's non-commercial Christian teaching and preaching network, which originates on WRVM/102.7 (Suring). It's quite a change for WMZK, which has carried Rock formats as "Z104" for decades, except for a brief flip to Hot Adult Contemporary a few years ago. WMZK has quite a bit of signal overlap with WRVM's existing WHJL/88.1 (Merrill), though WMZK's signal is stronger to Wausau and WHJL is stronger in Rhinelander. Meanwhile, the press relase says WRVM, Inc. is flipping WJMT to Sunrise Broadcasting, which owns an existing AM-FM combo in the Wausau market. WJMT will continue its local information elements but switch its music from Classic Country to Oldies as "Bluejay 730" when it returns to the air later this week. (1/25/2017)
The FM translator poised to relay the Oldies format of WDGY/740 (Hudson-St. Paul) has received permission for an upgrade. The FCC has granted W221BS/92.1 a construction permit to move its transmitter a few miles west to Wells Fargo Place in downtown St. Paul and upgrade from 55 to 80 Watts, which will allow the translator to deliver a good signal to all of St. Paul and some east metro suburbs, with fringe coverage of Minneapolis. With the move, W221BS will change its community of license from the non-existent "Waite" to St. Paul. (Since our last musing here about "Waite," a reader has pointed out that there is a neighborhood in the northeastern corner of Minneapolis named Waite Park that may be the source of the name "Waite.") As previously reported here, WDGY owner Greg Borgen is getting W221BS from the Educational Media Foundation in exchange for K288GR/105.5 (Bayport-Hudson), a deal which has received FCC approval. (1/23/2017)
KWSD/36.1 (Sioux Falls) remains off the air, according to FCC filings. The station first went silent in December 2014 citing transmitter problems. It has briefly returned to the air a few times since then, meeting the requirements of a licensed station, but told the FCC in a December 2016 filing that it had again suspended operations due to equipment problems. KWSD had most recently carried MeTV but lost that affiliation to Gray TV's KSFY/13.3 (Sioux Falls). KWSD is owned by James F. Simpson's JF Broadcasting, a sister company to the licensee of the Rapid City NBC affiliate, and has also carried PAX, WB, and CW in its 16-year history. (1/23/2017)
Gray TV's KABY/9 (Aberdeen) has again gone silent after a very brief return to the air. The station, which relays sister ABC affiliate KSFY/13 (Sioux Falls), had first gone silent two years ago citing a need to demolish its longtime tower between Aberdeen and Watertown. Filings indicate it then returned to the air at full power for two weeks in January 2016, meeting the requirements of a licensed station, and again from Jan. 10 to Jan. 12 of this year using a temporary 340-Watt facility at its Aberdeen office. No explanation was given for the latest silence. KSFY is the only TV station with a news bureau in Aberdeen and most viewers in the area are can still receive the station via cable or satellite. The three other major network affiliates in the Sioux Falls market have translators in Aberdeen. (1/23/2017)
It now appears TV broadcasters will be left with 35 channels after the FCC's spectrum auction reached balance in round four, leaving TV with seven more channels than it would have had if the auction had succeeded in the first round. TV Technology reports the magic moment happened Wednesday, Jan. 18, when the price wireless companies were willing to pay for the spectrum finally matched the price some broadcasters want to sell their spectrum, plus other expenses of station relocations. It appears channel 38 and up will be removed from the TV dial to free up 84 MHz of spectrum, leaving channels 2 to 36 for TV broadcasting (channel 37 has long been reserved for radio astronomy). Stations will still be able to remap to "virtual" channel numbers above 36. All remaining stations above RF channel 36 will have to be relocated to lower channels, and the remaining stations could also have to change channel as part of the national repack. It's not yet known which stations have agreed to sell their spectrum or move from UHF to VHF, since the process has been confidential. Stations that sell their spectrum will still have the option of retaining their license by sharing a channel with another broadcaster. (1/18/2017)
A half-dozen Upper Midwest TV stations officially changed hands Tuesday, Jan. 17, as Nexstar closed on its purchase of Media General, with several stations being spun off to comply with ownership caps. KELO-TV (CBS, Sioux Falls) and KCLO (CBS, Rapid City) are now owned by Nexstar; WBAY (ABC, Green Bay) and KWQC (NBC, Davenport) are now owned by Gray TV; and KIMT (CBS, Mason City) is now owned by Heartland Media. Nexstar was unable to keep WBAY and KWQC because it already owns other top-four stations in those cities, while KIMT was sold off to comply with national ownership caps as part of a five-station deal. (1/17/2017)
KCUE/1250 (Red Wing) has signed on 250-Watt FM translator K255CZ/98.9, serving the Mississippi River valley southeast of the Twin Cities. KCUE runs Classic Country and is owned by Q Media Group, along with Classic Hits outlet "K-Wing 106" (KWNG/105.9 Red Wing) and stations in Lake City and Wabasha. K255CZ was formerly Refuge Radio translator K263AL/100.5 (Madison) and was moved across the state under the FCC's AM revitalization window. (1/16/2017)
Saga Broadcasting as signed on translator K271CO/102.1 (Des Moines), relaying ESPN Radio from KRNT/1350. The 99-Watt translator broadcasts from downtown Des Moines was moved south from Minnesota under the FCC's AM revitalization window. It's Saga's eight FM signal in the capital city, with a group now consisting of four full-power FM stations, four FM translators, and two AM stations. (1/15/2017)
KNLV-FM/103.9 (Ord) has upgraded to 100kW/286m (class C1), expanding its coverage across an area of north-central Nebraska with few other FM signals. The station moved its transmitter to a site about 20 miles northwest of Ord, adding rimshot coverage of O'Neil and improving its signal to Broken Bow. KNLV-FM is owned by MWB Broadcasting II and carries a Country format that recently changed its name from "V103.9" to "King FM," according to its Facebook page. (1/10/2017)
A number of new digital TV subchannels are launching in the Twin Cities and Wisconsin:
CBS affiliate KCCI (Des Moines) and ABC affiliates WISN-TV (Milwaukee) and KETV (Omaha) have returned to DirecTV after a week-long retransmission consent dispute between Hearst Communications and DirecTV. The dispute affected dozens of Hearst stations nationwide beginning Jan. 1. Most mentions of the dispute, and its resolution, now seem to have been scrubbed from Hearst station websites. (1/1/2017, updated 1/9)
KMZN/740 (Oskaloosa) and its FM translator, K258BG/99.5, have dropped Sports in favor of Classic Hits. The Sports format had launched with the FM translator about two years ago; prior to that, 740 had simulcast the Country format of sister station KBOE-FM/104.9. 740's 229-Watt daytime signal has a wide coverage area across south-central and southeastern Iowa, but its 10-Watt nighttime signal is mostly limited to the Oskaloosa area. (1/8/2017)
Canadian regulators have given approval for a western Manitoba AM station to move its format to a major FM signal while keeping the AM transmitter on the air. The Country format of CKLQ/880 (Brandon) will move to 91.5 FM, assuming the 100kW facility of Native Communications Incorporated's CIWM-FM. NCI's station had already received approval to move to 107.5 and operate at lower power in a cost-saving effort. CKLQ is owned by Riding Mountain Broadcasting, which also owns CKLF-FM/94.7; the stations compete with Bell Media's two FM signals in Brandon, which include one Country format. Bell, Corus Entertainment, and Rogers Broadcasting (all three of which have stations in Winnipeg) objected to CKLQ's plans for an indefinite AM-FM simulcast. The CRTC found that the AM-FM simulcast is allowed because the 10kW AM signal will be considered a rebroadcasting transmitter rather than a separate license, similar to the conversion of three northern Manitoba stations several years ago. From an economic standpoint, profits in the market have been rising but Riding Mountain said CKLQ has generated a net loss, and the CRTC concluded that its conversion to FM would not have an undue economic impact on the market. (1/8/2017)
The Twin Cities' "Go 96.3" has switched its callsign from KTWN-FM to KQGO, marking the third* time the KTWN callsign has departed the Twin Cities. FCC records indicate the change for the Edina-licensed station was effective Jan. 1. Northern Lights Broadcasting owns KQGO and "Go 95.3" (KZGO St. Paul), with Hip-Hop running on KZGO and Adult Alternative on KQGO. Trivia buffs will note that KQGO is the fourth station in the Twin Cities to start with KQ, joining KQRS/92.5, KQQL/107.9, and KQSP/1530. *A reader informs your reporter that the KTWN callsign had also been used on 1400 in the 1960's, prior to its use on 1470/107.9. (1/4/2017)
VCY America has signed on new translator W259CV/99.7 (Duluth), relaying VCY's Christian programming from WQRM/850. The 250-Watt signal broadcasts from the Duluth antenna farm and was moved in from Wisconsin under the AM revitalization window. It's the sixth FM translator in Duluth, and its sign-on comes just a few weeks after Midwest Communications activated its two new translators in the city. (1/2/2017)
Midwest Communications has made a few changes to start the new year on the Iron Range: First, its "Duke FM" Classic Country format is now running on KGPZ/96.1 (Coleraine-Hibbing). Midwest bought KGPZ, formerly mainstream Country outlet "Z96," from Red Rock Radio as part of a five-station deal. The new "Duke" format works in tandem with Midwest Country outlet "Radio USA" (WUSZ/99.9 Virginia-Hibbing). KGPZ has carried Country formats for its entire history, starting with the "Real Country" network in 1995.
Meanwhile, Midwest's WMFG-FM/106.3 (Hibbing) has dropped a syndicated Classic Hits format in favor of a rebroadcast of Classic Rocker KQDS-FM/94.9 (Duluth), which was also included in Midwest's five-station purchase from Red Rock. The KQDS-FM rebroadcast had previously been heard on the western Iron Range on KBAJ/105.5 (Deer River), which was sold to a separate buyer and continues a Classic Rock format under a different identity. Midwest divested its previous Iron Range Classic Rocker, KMFG/102.9 (Nashwauk), to comply with ownership caps (see earlier reports on changes at KBAJ and KMFG). WMFG-FM is adjacent on the dial to KAOD/106.7 (Babbitt), which relays KQ on the eastern Iron Range. (1/1/2017)
KFGI/101.5 (Crosby-Brainerd) has moved to Classic Hits as "Skeeter 101-5," dropping the syndicated "Jack FM" Variety Hits format. The new playlist runs from the 1950's to 2000's and is quite broad, with Kid Rock's "Bawitdaba" and Jerry Lee Lewis' "Great Balls of Fire" heard a few minutes apart on Saturday afternoon. The switch came sometime in December and follows R&J Broadcasting's purchase of KFGI, and five others in the Brainerd/Aitkin area, from Red Rock Radio. (1/1/2017)
If you've lost track, there have been a total of ten format changes in recent months related to Red Rock Radio's selloff of stations in north-central and northeastern Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin:
KBAJ/105.5 (Deer River-Grand Rapids) is due to continue carrying Classic Rock as Lamke Broadcasting, owner of two Grand Rapids stations, takes over in the new year. KBAJ currently relays Red Rock Radio's KQDS-FM/94.9 (Duluth), and Lamke will will take over KBAJ under a local marketing agreement on Sunday (Jan. 1) as it awaits FCC approval of its purchase of the station from Red Rock. Lamke also owns News/Oldies outlet KOZY/1320 (Grand Rapids) and Adult Contemporary outlet KMFY/96.9 (Grand Rapids). According to a post on the station's website, the new Classic Rock format will be called "J105 The Thunder" and will include the syndicated Bob & Tom morning show. Besides Grand Rapids, KBAJ's 100kW signal is also strong in Hibbing and the western Iron Range. (12/30/2016)
KMFG/102.9 (Nashwauk-Hibbing) has flipped from Classic Rock to non-commercial Christian Hits as KRFG after Midwest Communications' sale of the station to Duluth-based Refuge Media. Midwest had to divest KMFG to comply with ownership caps to buy KGPZ/96.1 (Coleraine) from Red Rock Radio as part of a five-station deal, which received FCC approval in November. KMFG is the third full-power station for Refuge, which also runs its "Refuge Radio" network on WJRF/89.5 (Duluth), KRGM/89.9 (Marshall), and more than a dozen translators in Minnesota, eastern South Dakota, and northwestern Iowa. (12/30/2016)
One of Mitchell's two radio groups is returning to local ownership: Nedved Media, LLC, is buying Riverfront Broadcasting's three Mitchell-market stations for $3.35 million. The stations include News/Talker KORN/1490 (Mitchell), "Korn Country" (KORN-FM/92.1 Parkston-Mitchell), and Hot Adult Contemporary outlet "Q107" (KQRN/107.3 Mitchell). Nedved Media will begin operating the stations through a local marketing agreement on Jan. 1. The company is owned by Nancy and Steve Nedved of Mitchell; Nancy is the group's general manager. The group competes with Saga Broadcasting's two full-power FM's and two HD-fed FM translators in the market. Riverfront and its sister companies retain three stations in Pierre, three in Yankton, and eight in Iowa. (12/29/2016)
Community radio station KFAI/90.3 (Minneapolis) is broadcasting at reduced power after a winter storm snapped its IDS Center antenna on Christmas Day. The station reports that it was able to return to the air on Dec. 27 after engineers located a used antenna. KFAI normally transmits with 900 Watts and is currently using 251 Watts (ERP), according to a request for special temporary authority filed with the FCC. The outage had also affected KFAI translator K294AM/106.7 (West St. Paul), which relays the station's programming to the eastern metro. The station continued to provide programming online during the outage. (12/28/2016, updated with STA filing 12/29)
Leighton Enterprises has launched a Contemporary Hits format called "Channel 977" on KJJK/1020 and translator K249EZ/97.7 (Fergus Falls). KJJK had previously run a Sports format and had flipped to Christmas music, followed by two days of Prince, before the format launch on Dec. 28, according to its Facebook page. K249EZ was moved down from East Grand Forks under the FCC's AM revitalization window. KJJK is one of four stations owned by Leighton in Fergus Falls, with the others carrying Country, Rock, and News/Talk formats. The launch of "Channel 977" apparently marks the first time the western Minnesota city has had its own Contemporary Hits format. (12/28/2016)
News Channel Nebraska's new station in Grand Island is due to begin broadcasting in January, according to an article in the Grand Island Independent. The NCN network has three existing low-power TV stations and is owned by Flood Communications, which has construction permits for KMLF-LD/21 (Grand Island) and KGHK-LD/30 (Hastings); the newspaper article mentions channel 30. KGHK-LD is slated to transmit from a tower midway between Hastings and Kearney and should have a good signal to the Tri-Cities. NCN's existing stations in Norfolk, Columbus, and Beatrice show locally-produced newscasts on a repeating wheel, as well as sports and other local events. Grand Island will be NCN's biggest city and also its most competitive, since several major network affiliates already cover Grand Island news on a regular basis. (12/27/2016)
The hometown of the bear that inspired Winnie the Pooh could soon get a second FM signal. CBC Radio One's CBLW/1010 (White River) has applied to move to 97.7 FM with 50 Watts, up from 40 Watts on the AM side. The only other station receivable in White River, other than AM skywave reception at night, is a secondary transmitter of Adult Contemporary outlet CFNO-FM (Marathon) on 100.7. The town has about 600 residents and is a stop for travellers on the Trans-Canada Highway and the Lake Superior Circle Tour. (12/26/2016)
The conventional wisdom in radio is that if you play current music and some older music, you must also play everything in between, but a Winnipeg radio station is trying a different course. Corus Entertainment's CJGV-FM/99.1 has become "Peggy @ 99.1" with a playlist that's about half current and recent Adult Contemporary hits and about half `80s hits, but almost nothing from the `90s or early 2000's. The switch from CJGV's five-year-old "Fresh" branding, which RadioInsight reports came on Christmas Day at 5 p.m., followed a month and a half of Christmas music. "Fresh" had run a Hot Adult Contemporary format but placed last among the Peg's commercial radio stations in the Numeris Fall (September 5-October 30, 2016) 12+ ratings. (12/25/2016)
DTV America's WZCK-LD (Madison-Middleton) is now on the air with seven channels on virtual channel 8. The station, formerly analog W08CK, broadcasts with 8.4kW on channel 36. Its channels include Cozi TV, GetTV, Sonlife, American Sports Network, Liquidation Channel, QVC, and QVC Plus. (12/23/2016)
Friday (Dec. 23) was Mike Kearns Day in La Crosse as the longtime broadcaster retired from his morning shift on WKTY/580. Kearns had worked for the station for 44 years and had taken over the "Lead Balloon Show" that his father, Charlie, started when the station signed on in 1948. Some of Kearns' memories are recounted in a story on WKTY's website. Dave Carney and Matt Skradie will take over the WKTY morning show next week. (12/23/2016)
The sale of an FM translator is poised to settle a legal dispute between several broadcasters. Scott Thompson, owner of Big Radio, had filed a civil lawsuit against Sister Grace Inc. last February, alleging that Thompson had a deal to buy W239CD/95.7 (Beloit) from Sister Grace, but Sister Grace decided to sell it to David Magnum instead. Thompson also filed a petition to deny the FCC application to transfer W239CD's license. Now, Thompson has reached a deal to buy W222AU/92.3 (Beloit) from Magnum for $50,000. A settlement agreement says Thompson will drop his lawsuit and petition to deny the transfer of W239CD's license. The application to transfer W222AU's license states that it will relay Big Radio's WBEL/1380 (South Beloit). (12/22/2016)
"Eagle Country 105.7" (WCUP L'Anse) has moved its transmitter from a site south of L'Anse to Hancock, strengthening its coverage of Houghton-Hancock and Keweenaw County but weakening the signal in rural areas of the southwestern Upper Peninsula. The new transmitter site is shared with sister station "The Rockin' Eagle" (WGLI/98.7 Hancock), which also got a slignt upgrade as part of the project -- both stations now use 100kW/176m (C1). They're owned by the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community. (12/20/2016)
Low-power FM station KPPS-LP/97.5 (St. Louis Park) has applied to change frequency to escape interference from a future translator station and a signal from out of town. KPPS, owned by Park Public Radio, has applied to move to 88.9 and upgrade to 85W/33m from a tower slightly to the east of its present location, adding parts of southwest Minneapolis and Uptown to its main coverage area. The request comes after the FCC granted the University of Northwestern-St. Paul a construction permit for W248CU/97.5, which is to relay KTIS/900 from a site in St. Paul. KPPS also says in its application that it has encountered interference from KNXR/97.5 (Rochester) during testing. (12/19/2016)
Translator K274CV/102.7 (Ottumwa) is on the air relaying the News/Talk format of KBIZ/1240. The format includes more than five hours of daily local programming, Clark Howard, Dave Ramsey, and political talk at night. The translator was moved down from Eagle Grove under the FCC's AM revitalization window. KBIZ is part of the six-station O-Town Communications group, doing business as Ottumwa Radio. (12/18/2016)
New low-power FM station KXNB-LP/101.3 (Omaha) has signed on as "Mind and Soul 101.3," serving the African-American community with talk, news, and a playlist including Classic Hip-Hop, R&B, Funk, and Jazz. The 11-Watt station is owned by the Malcolm X Memorial Foundation and will share time and transmitter facilities with KJSO-LP, owned by the North Omaha Loves Jazz Cultural Arts and Humanities Complex. (12/18/2016)
Midwest Communications has signed on two new FM translators in the Twin Ports: W251CD/98.1 (Superior-Duluth) relays WDSM/710 (Superior-Duluth), while W280FB/103.9 (Duluth) relays KDAL/610 (Duluth). Both translators broadcast from the Duluth antenna farm with 250 Watts, enough to deliver a good signal across the Twin Ports area. They were moved in from Moose Lake and Chippewa Falls, respectively, under the FCC's AM revitalization window. Midwest will have six FM signals in Duluth with the launch of these translators and the pending purchase of Classic Rocker KQDS-FM/94.9 (Duluth), which received FCC approval last month. Both WDSM and KDAL carry News/Talk formats, with WDSM focusing on conservative politics and KDAL leaning towards non-political and local information-based programming. Duluth is the only market where Midwest runs two News/Talk formats. (12/14/2016)
The permittee of a new non-commercial FM station in eastern Iowa is seeking a waiver to add Cedar Rapids to its main coverage area. The current construction permit for Plus Charities' KMMK/88.7 (Coggon) calls for a 5kW/95m (class A) facility serving an area north of Cedar Rapids. KMMK is now seeking a "Raleigh waiver" to upgrade to 25kW/94m (class C3), adding most of Cedar Rapids to its 60 dbu contour. The upgrade would increase the population of KMMK's 60 dbu contour by 750 percent to 194,927 people. The waiver would be needed because KMMK is too close to KCCK-FM/88.3 (Cedar Rapids) and KXGM-FM/89.1 (Hiawatha-Cedar Rapids) to upgrade under normal circumstances. A "Raleigh waiver" allows such an upgrade for non-commercial FM stations when the actual interference to other non-commercial stations would be minimal. KMMK is not yet on the air and has a March 2018 construction deadline. (12/11/2016)
New FM translator W224DE/92.7 (Janesville) is on the air relaying the News/Talk format of WCLO/1230. WCLO's lineup includes more than nine hours of local programming per day, plus non-political syndicated talk and CBS News. The stations are owned by Southern Wisconsin Broadcasting, LLC, a subsidiary of Bliss Communications. (12/11/2016)
Wisconsin Public Radio's Superior bureau now has just the second regional manager in its quarter-century history. Longtime Bureau head John Munson is due to retire in a few weeks, and the network has hired Paul Damberg to take his spot. Damberg, who started Dec. 5, worked at the University of Minnesota Duluth's KUMD/103.3 for 17 years and was more recently at Lake Superior College. The bureau is located on the UW-Superior campus and is home to KUWS/91.3 and four other WPR stations in the region. Munson has done just about everything you can think of at the bureau, including training students, teaching classes, calling hockey games, hosting public affairs programs, working on community events, and serving as a statewide fill-in announcer for WPR's Ideas Network. One of his last major accomplishments was the construction of three new state-of-the-art studios at the bureau this year. Your reporter was fortunate to learn from Munson in the 1990's, and Munson was kind enough not to show your reporter the door when he pushed the limits several times. The unique college-public radio model that Munson helped create at KUWS helped launch numerous media careers and will likely continue to launch careers for years to come. (12/6/2016)
The FCC's Audio Division has rescinded its earlier grant of a new FM signal in Omaha. The new 99-Watt translator on 95.3 was to have relayed Scripps' KXSP/590. It was being moved from Schuyler, where it is currently licensed as K276FB, under the AM revitalization window. The translator originally applied to move to 96.5 on Omaha but changed its proposed frequency to 95.3 after an informal objection from the owner of KSOM/96.5 (Audubon, IA). After the construction permit was issued for 95.3, Hawkeye Communications --- owner of KCSI/95.3 (Villisca-Red Oak) -- filed a petition for reconsideration, presenting evidence that it had existing listeners within the translator's planned coverage area. The FCC granted KCSI's petition for reconsideration and rescinded the grant of the 95.3 translator in a letter last week. Flood Communications, the owner of the translator, had already received FCC approval to sell it to Scripps, but it's not clear if that deal will be consummated now that the translator can't make a one-step move to Omaha. The AM revitalization filing window is closed. (12/4/2016)
Many more new FM translator signals have signed on in the Upper Midwest, most of which were moved to their current location under the FCC's AM revitalization window. Some may have been on the air for a few months already:
The last remaining Canadian broadcast TV signal between Thunder Bay and Winnipeg, a distance of about 600km (375 miles) by air, is poised to sign off permanently. Last month, Shaw Communications withdrew its application to renew the license of CJBN-TV/13 (Kenora), saying that it intends to close the station. CJBN is an extremely small station, broadcasting only in analog with 178 Watts. Most of its programming is relayed from Global TV affiliate CKND-DT/9 (Winnipeg). Cartt.ca reports that a company spokesperson said three people would lose their jobs when the station signs off Jan. 27, and the two weekly programs that currently air on CJBN will continue to run on Shaw's local cable channel. Global network programming will still be available on cable from CKND. It's not likely that many people are still watching CJBN's broadcast signal since it's the only one left in Kenora after the CBC and TV Ontario shut down their local transmitters in 2012. Virtually all other northwestern Ontario communities outside of Thunder Bay lost all broadcast TV service at that time, except for the U.S. signals that can be received in Fort Frances. (12/2/2016)
An AM Oldies station will get an FM signal in St. Paul as a result of a translator trade. Educational Media Foundation's W221BS/92.1 (Waite-St. Paul) will be transferred to Gregory Borgen's 630 Radio Inc. in exchange for K288GR/105.5 (Bayport, MN-Hudson, WI). W221BS currently carries EMF's "Air 1" network, transmitting with 55 Watts from St. Paul, but is no longer needed to carry that network following the upgrade of W225AP/92.9 (St. Paul-Minneapolis), which also carries "Air 1." The applications to transfer the licenses state that W221BS will relay Borgen's Oldies-formatted WDGY/740 (Hudson-St. Paul) following the transfer, while K288GR will relay iHeartMedia's KFXN-FM/100.3 -- presumably the KFXN-FM-HD3 feed carrying EMF's "K-Love" network. K288GR had been relaying Borgen's WREY/630 (St. Paul), which recently got a better signal with the launch of W235CT/94.9 (St. Paul). The deal calls for K288GR to continue transmitting from WDGY's tower site east of Hudson.
Editor's note: If you're wondering "Where is Waite?" you're not alone. It does not appear there is any place called Waite, Minnesota, nor is there a neighborhood going by that name in St. Paul or Minneapolis. There is a City of Waite Park in central Minnesota, far outside of W221BS' coverage area, and a community center called the Waite House in Minneapolis, bit it's not clear if "Waite" refers to either one of those. There is no community of license showing for translators, meaning applicants don't have to prove that the proposed community of license exists or would be within the translator's coverage area. (12/2/2016)
Lamke Broadcasting is adding a second FM signal to its existing Grand Rapids AM-FM combo with the purchase of KBAJ/105.5 (Deer River) from Red Rock Radio. Lamke will pay $200,000 for KBAJ and will begin operating the station under a local marketing agreement on Jan. 1, 2017. Lamke also owns Oldies-formatted KOZY/1320 (Grand Rapids) and Adult Contemporary outlet KMFY/96.9 (Grand Rapids). KBAJ currently relays the Classic Rock format of KQDS-FM/94.9 (Duluth), which Red Rock is in the process of selling to Midwest Communications; the deal received FCC approval earlier this month. Red Rock still has an AM and two FM's in Duluth and an AM in Eveleth after a total of five sales this year, including KBAJ. (11/30/2016)
At least 69 Upper Midwest radio stations are now playing all-Christmas formats, which is a half-dozen more than had flipped by this time last year. Some of Santa's statistics:
On the day before Thanksgiving, Christmas music is already over at one of the first stations in the region to adopt the format this season. iHeartMedia launched a 70's-based Classic Hits format as "Rewind 92.1" on WXXM (Sun Prairie-Madison) on Wednesday, ending a two-week stunt with Christmas music as "Best FM." "Rewind" will have a monopoly on the format for the next month since Entercom Classic Hits outlet WOLX/94.9 (Baraboo-Madison) is now in all-Christmas mode. Non-commercial Contemporary Christian station "Life 102.5" (WNWC-FM Madison) is also due to go all-Christmas on Thanksgiving Day at Noon. (11/23/2016)
On the Monday before Thanksgiving, at least 25 Upper Midwest radio stations are running all-Christmas formats, which is five more than this time last year. Flips over the weekend included iHeartMedia's "Kool 108" (KQQL/107.9 Anoka-Minneapolis) and a new entrant, WVBO/103.9 (Winneconne-Oshkosh), which had run Christmas music on the weekends in previous years but then gone back to its regular format during the week. Another ten stations are promoting flips later this week. See the 2016 All-Christmas Stations page for a complete list. (11/21/2016)
The FCC has granted another two FM signals for the Twin Cities area after two broadcasters resolved a frequency conflict. Salem Media and the University of Northwestern-St. Paul had both applied for translators on 107.5, relaying Salem's WWTC/1280 and Northwestern's KTIS/900.
Northwestern recently modified its application to 97.5, transmitting with 250 Watts from Wells Fargo Place in St. Paul, and the application was then granted. 97.5 will use a highly directional antenna pattern to limit the signal towards KPPS-LP/97.5 (St. Louis Park). KTIS is also relayed on K214DF/90.7, which transmits from downtown Minneapolis.
Meanwhile, Salem's application for 107.5 was also approved. That translator will broadcast with 250 Watts from WWTC's tower site in St. Louis Park.
There are now 35 licenses or construction permits for FM translators or low-power FM stations in the greater metro area; see the Twin Cities Class D/LPFM Stations page for a complete list. (11/20/2016)
Besides the two translators listed above, other new FM translators granted last week include:
Two longtime journalists have announced plans to retire from Duluth NBC/CBS affiliate KBJR-TV (Superior-Duluth). The station announced Friday during its annual Christmas City of the North Parade that anchor Michelle Lee will retire at the end of the year, and news director Barbara Reyelts will retire next year. Reyelts has been with the station since 1979, and Lee joined KBJR since 1990 and was at KDLH/3 for seven years prior to that. KBJR is owned by Quincy Media. (11/20/2016)
After years of legal wrangling, the FCC says Townsquare Media can become the licensee of several FM stations in the Waterloo market. KKHQ-FM/92.3 (Oelwein-Waterloo), KCRR/97.7 (Grundy Center-Waterloo), and KOEL-FM/98.5 (Cedar Falls-Waterloo) were placed into the Cedar Rapids Divestiture Trust when Townsquare bought the former Cumulus groups in the Waterloo and Cedar Rapids markets a few years ago. That's because the stations had been moved, on paper, to the Cedar Rapids market in 2012. Nielsen Audio later reassigned the stations to the Waterloo market, but the FCC said last year that the stations couldn't be sold back to Townsquare until May 2016 due to a rule that requires a two-year waiting period when market boundaries are changed. The applications to transfer the licenses were reinstated earlier this year, and approved last week. (11/20/2016)
The FCC has granted short-term license renewals for several southwestern South Dakota and Wyoming radio stations that have been silent for much of the past several years. The stations in question are Mount Rushmore Broadcasting's KZMX/580 (Hot Springs), KZMX-FM/96.7 (Hot Springs), and KFCR/1490 (Custer), as well as Wyoming stations KRAL/1240 (Rawlins) and KIQZ/92.7 (Rawlins). Letters from the FCC's Audio Division (KFCR/KZMX-FM/KIQZ letter, KZMX/KRAL letter) say the company's "conduct has fallen far short of that which would warrant routine license renewal." The letters noted that the company "faced a number of difficulties beyond its control and sought Commission authorization for each station's periods of silence" but said that the stations can't serve the public interest when they're not on the air. The stations' licenses, along with the licenses of two sister stations in Wyoming, were only renewed for two years rather than the usual eight. The letter noted that the FCC would be watching to make sure the stations are complying with federal law. A license renewal application for the company's KAWK/105.1 (Custer) remains pending. (11/20/2016)
Another new FM signal is on the air in the Twin Cities: W235CT/94.9 (St. Paul) relays the "Radio Rey" Regional Mexican format of WREY/630 (St. Paul). W235CT transmits from the Wells Fargo Center in downtown St. Paul with 250 Watts, providing a good signal to the east metro. It was moved into the metro under the FCC's AM revitalization window. WREY's primary competitor, "La Raza" KMNV/1400 (St. Paul), also has a construction permit for a new translator on 95.7.
Other recent FM translator sign-ons include:
KQSP/1530 (Shakopee-Minneapolis) has gone off the air, citing financial problems in a notification of suspension of operations filed with the FCC. The station went silent on Oct. 26. The filing says KQSP has operated at a financial loss for the past several years and its owner, Yong W. Kim's Broadcast One, is pursuing "all possible avenues for KQSP to successfully resume operations." The station is currently licensed for 8.6kW daytime but just 10 Watts at night from a tower site in the southwestern suburb of Chanhassen. It has had a few construction permits to upgrade its daytime signal in recent years, but the current permit expires later this month. KQSP had carried a Tropical format called "La Picosa," which continues to stream online. The operators of that format say on their website that they will return "very soon" and mention the possibility of an FM signal. (11/17/2016)
`Tis the season for stations to begin going all-Christmas, but one station that's made the flip every year for a decade isn't feeling the holiday spirit this year. Townsquare Media Classic Hits outlet "Kool 101.7" (KLDJ Duluth) says in response to a listener question on its Facebook page that it won't go all-Christmas, but will sprinkle Christmas songs into its regular playlist and offer a Christmas web strem. Meanwhile, non-commercial Contemporary Christian outlet "Life 97.3" (KDNW Duluth) is promoting a flip to all-Christmas coinciding with the annual Christmas City of the North Parade this Friday (11/18). Elsewhere, Fargo's "Mix 101.9" (KRWK) flipped Sunday (11/13) and at least a half-dozen other Upper Midwest stations are promoting flips to take place over the next week; see the 2016 All-Christmas Stations page for a complete list. (11/14/2016)
WPCN/1010 (Stevens Point) and its FM translator, W221CN/92.1, have dropped Talk and Sports for Scott Shannon's "True Oldies Channel" network. The station continues to carry a local morning talk show. Its most recent lineup had included Jonathon Brandmeier, Clark Howard, and CBS Sports Radio in afternoons, nights, and weekends. Several years ago, WPCN had carried "True Oldies" in overnight and weekend timeslots. The network was also carried on sister Muzzy Broadcast Group station WSPT/97.9 (Stevens Point), which moved to Classic Hits a few years ago. (11/9/2016)
iHeartMedia's WXXM/92.1 (Sun Prairie-Madison) has dropped its 12-year-old Liberal Talk format, which had been called "The Mic," and is now running classic Christmas music as "Best FM." iHeart uses the "Best FM" brand with `80s Hits formats in a few other markets. Though the flip was almost simultaneous with an election that saw Democrats Hillary Clinton and Russ Feingold lose in Wisconsin, RadioInsight notes that the change had actually been in the works for weeks. The Liberal Talk format survived longer at WXXM than at most other stations, continuing after an aborted plan to flip to Sports in 2007 and the sign-off of Air America Radio in 2010.
WXXM is at least the third Upper Midwest station to go all-Christmas this season. Follow the 2016 All-Christmas Stations page for updates throughout the season. (11/9/2016)
Zoe Communications' WLMX-FM/104.9 (Balsam Lake) has switched from Variety Hits "Mix 105" to Classic Hits of the 1970s and 80s as "Max 104.9." The change follows Zoe's purchase of WLMX and four other stations from Red Rock Radio; WLMX is the fourth of the five to change format. WLMX had used the "Mix" slogan for most of its 19-year history, first with Adult Contemporary and later with Variety Hits. Its main coverage area extends from Rice Lake to St. Croix Falls. (11/7/2016)
The FCC's second AM revitalization window for 250-mile FM translator moves ended last week with a total of 41 applications in the Upper Midwest, 34 of which have been granted. The last regional application through the gate was from VCY America to move a translator permit from Appleton, WI, to Duluth to relay VCY's WQRM/850 on 99.7. Among the applications that remain pending are Salem Media and the University of Northwestern-St. Paul's duelling applications for 107.5 in the Twin Cities area. Meanwhile, the only application granted last week under the window was for a translator to move to Hayward, WI, to relay WHSM/910 on 96.9. See the 2016 AM Revitalization Translators, Round 1 and Round 2 pages for a full rundown of all of the translator filings under the windows for 250-mile moves this year. There will be more windows next year for AM stations to apply for new FM translator licenses, rather than move them. (11/6/2016)
Two Brainerd-area radio stations have changed format after R&J Broadcasting began operating the Red Rock Radio stations in the market. WWWI-FM/95.9 (Pillager) has dropped its rebroadcast of Classic Rocker KQDS-FM/94.9 (Duluth) in favor of Classic Country as "Cash 95." Meanwhile, WWWI/1270 (Baxter) has dropped NBC Sports Radio and is now rebroadcasting "Talk 100" (KLKS/100.1 Pequot Lakes). The KLKS lineup had been heard on WWWI prior to its flip to Sports. The stations apparently have no web or social media presence. They are among eight that R&J is buying from Red Rock from $1.185 million; R&J is operating the stations under a local programming marketing agreement while the deal awaits FCC approval. (11/6/2016)
Troy Paskvan's KPMI/1300 (Bemidji) has switched from Sports to Classic Country as "Legends 1300." The new format includes Imus in the Morning and news updates from FOX, ABC, and GoMN (formerly Bring Me the News). Roger Paskvan's WBJI/98.3 (Blackduck-Bemidji) had previously played some Classic Country but segued to more current songs as "Babe Country 98.3" (named for Paul Bunyan's blue ox) earlier this year. (11/6/2016)
The FCC is considering a proposal from the Red Lake Nation to allot 105.3 to Red Lake, northwest of Bemidji, for a future class C1 commercial station. Tribal priority is being sought for the allotment. The Nation had first applied for the frequency last year, proposing a 100kW/192m facility using from a new tower north of Clearbrook. It would deliver a city-grade signal to most of the Red Lake Reservation and a rimshot signal to both Bemidji and Thief River Falls. Comments on the proposed allotment are being taken until Dec. 26. (11/6/2016)
iHeartMedia's "Classic Country 1360" (KMJM Cedar Rapids) is apparently the first station in the Upper Midwest to go all-Christmas this year, at least partially. Since at least Tuesday (11/1), the station has been playing nothing but Christmas music except for three hours in morning drive. KMJM last went all-Christmas in 2013. Across town, Townsquare Media's KDAT/104.5 has gone all-Christmas every year since at least 2002 and has flipped on the Friday or Monday before Christmas every year since 2009.
Elsewhere in Iowa, iHeartMedia's "Mix 96" (KMXG/96.1 Clinton-Quad Cities) says on Facebook that it will be flipping to Christmas before Thanksgiving, and iHeartMedia's "KG95" (KGLI/95.5 Sioux City) has a Facebook post suggesting its flip will happen on Nov. 18. (11/2/2016)
The FCC has declined two commercial broadcasters' request to rescind the construction permit for new low-power FM station KCOD-LP/104.1 (Decorah) but has directed its Media Bureau to conduct "further investigative and enforcement proceedings" against the permittee, Community Radio of Decorah, Postville and Northeast Iowa. In a memorandum opinion and order, the Commission said it was concerned about the issues raised. The point of contention is that Community Radio's James Glesne was still listed as a member of the board of directors of the Postville Chamber of Commerce, the licensee of KPVL/89.1 (Postville), when the application for the Decorah LPFM station was filed, but Community Radio's application indicated that Glesne had no other broadcast interests. Glesne later indicated that he had resigned from the Chamber's board. The FCC now says that while it sees no reason to revoke the permit, the Media Bureau's admonishment of Community Radio for its handling of the situation was inadequate and that the Bureau should begin a "further letter of inquiry, designed to determine the appropriate enforcement proceedings." The FCC also directed the Media Bureau to end its unofficial practice of allowing construction permit deadlines for LPFM stations to be extended even when the original deadline has passed.

Hello And Goodbye To Our Future
3 comments:
I agree Sid, its not enough that they start playing Christ-Mas Music in Jaw Jaw in September, Jehovah's Witnesses wake me up at the ungodly hour of 2pm, and you'll still occassionally see
"In Case of Rapture this Car will be Unoccupied" bumperstickers, usually on the back of an F-350 Super Duty, next to the "These Colors Don't Run!" sticker...
and it was 2 or 3 years after I moved to the South that I realized the "Rapture" everyone talked about wasn't a Blondie song...
And I've got a solution for the whole Payroll Tax Cut Friasco...
MAKE MORE THAN $110,000, then you don't pay any.
Except Medicare for Old Farts like you, I mean ME, in 17 years...

You know, I really couldn't have said it better. I wonder how many people will not so much vote democrat this time, but vote not republican.
We as citizens of this country need to evaluate the things we want and the things we are willing to pay for. Medicare for example, whether for or against its current incarnation, I, being 28, think that care for our elders is worth paying for. Social security is worth paying for. Education, I could go on and on.
Cutting the fat shouldn't be something we do when it's a national emergency, it's something we should be doing constantly, and it shouldn't be a televised circus to get it to happen.
I'm all for efficiency and for lower taxes, but if it's worth paying for, I'm happy to contribute. Knowing that no matter what happens, my parents will have healthcare available is important.

Chronic knee pain
I am suffering from chronic knee pains at night for last 5-6 years. Initially frequency was once in few months. But now a days it is constant. I was asked by ortho to get blood test. Report is attached. As per him it is because of high uric acid. I also have high anti CCP. I get severe infection very often like swelling in internal nose or lump in armpit. Please check the reports and let me know if I have anything serious. Reports attached.

Hi... I went through your clinical query... As such there are no reports attached... However, i will comment best of my knowledge... Limiting alcoholic beverages and drinks sweetened with fruit sugar (fructose). Instead, drink plenty of nonalcoholic beverages, especially water....Limit intake of foods high in purines, such as red meat, organ meats and seafood....Exercising regularly and lose weight.

London Campus
University of Cumbria
58 East India Dock Road
The London Borough of Tower Hamlets
Telephone: 0207 517 4800
London is one of the world's most popular cities, and studying at our campus places you right in the midst of it all. With an extensive selection of things to see and do just a short distance away, and excellent transport links, you'll never struggle to find things to explore during your studies.
Our London campus has provided outstanding teacher training for ten years, and now also offers professional Policing qualifications. The site offers a dedicated library resource and well-equipped learning space, and has fantastic transport links; DLR Westferry is nearby and there is also a bus stop directly outside, extremely handy for getting out and about.
Needless to say, London has plenty of attractions to suit every taste. Shopping, history, culture, entertainment - whatever you're looking for, you're bound to be satisfied. Our campus is just 20 minutes away from the O2 Arena by public transport, giving you direct access to some of the UK's most sought-after performances.
Oxford Street has over a mile and a half of high street shops, department stores and eating places, providing the perfect shopping destination for students. You're also only 15 minutes walk away from the vibrant and diverse Chrisp Street, a Victorian era shopping district with an eclectic range of small retail outlets, market stalls and cafes selling produce from around the world.
Our university library has an extensive collection of materials to support your studies. Just in case you can't find what you need though, the Tower Hamlets Schools Library Service is also available for further resources including books, props, costumes and artefacts to use in classrooms. Need somewhere to catch lunch between lectures? The Conservatory is an on-site café which serves up hot and cold drinks and a variety of snacks to keep you going through your studies.
The London campus is approximately a six minute walk from DLR Westferry and is on direct bus routes served by buses 115, D6, 15 – just ask for the University of Cumbria in London stop which is directly outside.
For food and drink, you won't want to miss out on visiting one of the oldest pubs in London. Located close to our campus, The Grapes has been recommended by the Good Pub Food Guide for over 15 years. If you're lucky, you might even get to meet leaseholder Sir Ian McKellen!
Nearby Canary Wharf has a great variety of places to grab a bite to eat or a coffee to keep you going, as well as many wine and cocktail bars including The Parlour and Wahaca for a fun night out. If you're looking for something a bit different, then Fat Boys Diner is a cool hangout that serves up every burger, fries and shake combo you could wish for. Enjoy eating in a 1940's style restaurant just 15 minutes from campus.
"I have many memorable experiences of university, including the opportunity to visit the university's Lake District campus in Ambleside."
There's no better way to find out about a university than coming to an event or open day.

How to Get Unstuck
Isn't it funny how we find ourselves sharing the very message that we need to hear? In my last article I talked honestly about how easily we can get stuck. – Stuck in relationships – Stuck with our finances – Stuck in a job that we don't like –

The Blue of the Night with Carl Corcoran Thursday 26 December 2013
In the run up to New Music Dublin Festival this weekend, Carl will be focusing on the best Irish contemporary music - both performers and composers. We'll share some of the vibrant talent in the contemporary music scene - from Deane to Doyle, Buckley to Barry and more - and on Wednesday night pianist/composer Izumi Kimura joins Carl for a Blue Room Session - tunes, choices and a little chat.
The Blue of the Night features the beautiful singing of the Tallis Scholars as their celebratory 40th aniversary year draws to a close
It's been a sad year for the music world with the loss of many iconic figures. One of our own legends, jazz guitarist Louis Stewart left us earlier this year. Louis' musical legacy is recognised and lauded in the international jazz world. At home in Ireland, where he chose to base himself even at the peak of his international fame, he became a friend and mentor to many in a burgeoning jazz community. His loss is immense. In March 2014, Louis was the featured artist on The Blue of the Night with Carl Corcoran. This special programme features many of Louis' wonderful performances and his chat with Carl, recalling his early days and the highlights of his international career.

This will be based on your water consumption used during the months of December, January, & February. We will add the total amount of water consumption used during these months and divide by three. Each customer's sewer bill will then be calculated on this amount for the next twelve months. Remember, if you have a leak, please repair it quickly, otherwise your sewer bill will be high for twelve months.
The City of La Grange would like to take this opportunity to remind our customers that Republic Services will be servicing the 96 gallon recycling carts with the green lids the week of February 27, 2017.

A Framework for Corporate Householding

University of Massachusetts Boston - College of Management
October 2002
MIT Sloan Working Paper No. 4294-02; CISL Working Paper No. 02-13
Previous research on corporate household and corporate householding has presented examples, literature review, and working definitions. In this paper, we first improve our understanding of the area by developing a typology of corporate householding tasks and knowledge requirements. We stress the importance of "context" for use to get the appropriate answer for each task. Then we propose an approach to handle these tasks using Communities of Practice (COP) for knowledge acquisition and extensions to the COntext INterchange (COIN) technology for knowledge storage and knowledge processing.

Ennis Garden Centre CC
sisal nesting logs
The sisal nesting log can be placed anywhere in the garden, but preferably secured in a tree. This will attract a few species that will make a nest in the stem. A hole is predrilled to give them a start but some will make their own holes. Species like crested barbet and woodpeckers will nest in this log.
