** U S A. Nova M radio, the progressive network originating in Phoenix, has moved from 1480 to 1190 in that market, as mentioned on SunSounds of Arizona radio reading service, probably quoting Phoenix New Times, during the 05-06 UT Sunday hour. Said a lot of listeners had not kept up with the change which had been promoted, and assumed Nova was kaput. Also mentioned what programming had replaced Nova M on 1480, but did not catch it. Unsure if legal calls have changed, but NRC AM Log 2008-2009 showed:
1480 KPHX Phoenix 5000/500 U2 1190 KNUV Tolleson 5000/250 U4; CP 5000/400 U4, but Silent 7/2008 FCC AM query shows 1190 as KNUV, licensee New Radio Venture, DA-2; in daytime with major lobe to NE, lesser lobe to SW; nighttime, major lobe to NE, more of a lobe to SW, but quite different patterns. The night CP looks like the same pattern as before, only slightly bigger as the power increase would imply. Nulls appear to be toward Portland, and Guadalajara. Transmitter site is axually close to Tolleson, on the SW side of Phoenix. 1190 must have been back on the air already, as it is not on the NRC silent stations list updated 11/17: http://www.nrcdxas.org/SilentStations/index.html Strangely enough, the Nova M affiliate list page http://www.novamradio.com/live/affiliate_list.php still shows KPHX-1480 in Phoenix, no 1190! But if you click on the link to that you axually get: http://www.1190novam.com/ FCC AM Query shows 1480 still as KPHX, licensee Continental Broadcasting Corp. of Arizona, Inc.
