>>A posting on the Portland PDX forum from the owner of KORC "We sold the transmitter, tower, license & CP for 5 kW. The greatly improved transmitter site including a generator and a fix to a very ailing ATU. Rumors that the tower was taken down, etc. are just rumors." The buyer is YAQUINA BAY COMMUNICATIONS, INC. for $37,500. they own KNPT 1310 AM, Newport, OR KYTE 102.7 FM, Newport KBCH 1400 AM, Lincoln City KCRF 96.7 FM, Lincoln City News calls are KWDP.<<
I wonder when the station will return? Since Yaquina Bay bought them, they are bound to stay on the air this time. KNPT is a very old coastal station. Been on the air 50-60 years at least. Back in the 70s, when KBCH was on 1380, the letterhead for both KNPT & KBCH was the same except for the call letters, freq. $37.500 was quite a buy. This way Yaquina Bay will easily cover the whole county with AM coverage. South (Waldport), Central (Newport) and North (Lincoln City). I wonder what the format will be? KBCH-1400 is Adult Standards & Talk, KNPT-1310 is Talk.
