Hello Scott Many thanks for the clarification for which I will give you credit in my next column. I QSLed the KXTR call and see it a tad more valuable than a W call on this side of The Pond. Will KXTR go to 106.5 FM? Barry

The 106.5 facility is changing call letters, as it tries to ditch what's perceived as the "old" WDAF calls and the heritage they carry, and Entercom wants to keep the calls in the family, so they're moving them to the classical AM on 1660, which will remain classical. Rather a dumb move, if you ask me, since the KXTR calls that were on 1660 have a long classical heritage of their own in Kansas City, having spent many decades in use on 96.5 FM there. s _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected] _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
