Re: [IRCA] KWFM 1330 Tucson back on
Steve, the KWFM office (if they have a studio, it is probably a microphone and a box in a closet) is at St. Phillip's Plaza at Campbell Avenue and River Road. The transmitter site is in NE Tucson just southeasterly of the Ventana Canyon resort area. Punch 32.314N, 110.838W into Google Earth. I am 3.3 miles due south. I used to listen to KFAT during my college years and always looked forward to going to Hawaii for Radio Free Hawaii (FM I believe) sometime after that.

[IRCA] KWFM 1330 Tucson back on
Star 1330 as before with their quasi-1980's hits programming. I've been listening for an hour and still haven't heard anything I recognized. An awful playlist. It was only a matter of time before they returned, but I was hoping for an upgrade to something better like Techno Rap or All P.J. Proby All Of The Time.
