It’s the 5-kw fulltime station that Pappas Radio of Modesto built to
essentially replace the 860 (KTRB) that it moved into the San Franc
isco market. KMPH hit the air in July 2006, originally playing “Mode
rn Standards” and then in March 2008 switching to a conservative tal
k approached named Patriot 840. Now Pappas Radio says it’s going to
sign the station off at 9am Pacific time on Tuesday, August 31. Jim
Pappas blames that on “the ongoing national, state and local economi
c downturn, combined with the insufficient growth in revenue” at the
5-kw AM. He says “the company is no longer willing to fund” the
station’s operating losses. His letter ends with this promise –
“when future circumstances permit, KMPH-AM will return to the airwav
es.” One problem for the four-year-old station: very different day a
nd night patterns. The daytime signal goes Southeast and, with what
the engineers call a tight null to northwest, doesn’t hit
Stockton very well. The nighttime signal goes north and south,
centered on Modesto (radio-info.com via Artie Bigley, DX LISTENING
