Hi Rick,
If you hear traffic info on 730 in English, it will likely be
Vancouver...http://www.am730.ca/ (what is it about 730 in Canada?)
They've been at it a number of years now, so it seems to be something
that's needed. I've certainly used it in Vancouver, sometimes
vowing to use a bicycle next time.
best wishes,
Nick

I know of only one all-traffic station, 730 in Montreal, and I
wonder how well it's working out in that market. Kit, it sounds to
me like what Denver could really use is an all-news station, with
traffic checks and weather every 10 minutes throughout the day (a la
WBBM's "traffic and weather together on the 8s"). Granted, WBBM,
along with WCBS, KYW, WWJ, and KNX, all of which are other all-news
stations, are CBS-owned, so it would take an ownership change for
that to happen. But surely CBS could swoop in (if it felt like
doing so), buy KLZ, KHOW, or KOA, and convert it to all-news. Three
poli-talk stations in a market of Denver's size is, IMO, overkill.

As you may know KBUD (originally KDCO) has only been on the air for
about a year. The current owner is the third owner. The second
owner sold it very quickly after buying it from the original owner,
and I mean within a matter of days. I think it was the second owner
who applied for the 5 KW day upgrade, so the current owner may or
may not follow through with it. Since he sold the translator, I
would say it's a safe bet that he is now trying to sell the
AM. It's probably just as safe a bet that the AM will end up being
sports, religion, or Mexican, none of which are needed in this
market. What this market could use is an all traffic station since
the traffic is so bad here.
In case nobody saw it, Salem just bought KDDZ 1690 from Disney, but
so far it still has R. Disney on it. There are already so many
religious stations in this market, it's hard to believe another one
is coming shortly. One has to wonder how they all survive.
And as I have said before, I still find it stupid that a 50 KW 1-A
thinks they need a piddling little 250 watt FM translator. Oh well...

Never heard here in IL. I'd hoped 990 watts ND days could make it by
sunset skip (Dir Night pattern is bad to me) but it never did. They
have a CP for 5 kW ND days. If that is the plan, I assume someone
might make a viable station out of them?

>Our local pot station is gone. (Awwwwww...) The station known as
Smokin' 94.1, which is actually a translator on 94.1 that was
simulcasting KBUD 1550 Golden, is now a simulcast of KOA. An
application has been filed to sell the translator to KOA, so it
appears to be a permanent change. Meanwhile, KBUD 1550 is now
silent. No sale application has been filed yet for the AM. I
doubt that many stoners would listen to AM, so look for it to be
sold very soon.
