Re: [IRCA] NEW 1060, 1070 and 1080 loggings from Redding CA 1/26/15

Yes Dennis what happened to KGO was a real shame. I liked most of their hosts. 
But at least now I have a wifi radio and can check out talk shows from across 
the US and Canada, but still I have never found anything like KGO. Those were 
local talk show hosts too. That is rare today.

 Cumulus blew up KGO. It had been number one in the ratings in both the San 
 Francisco and San Jose markets for more than twenty years. Nothing needed to 
 be changed. They bought it and promptly fired a number of popular show hosts. 
 They shipped some of the others to other Cumulus stations in the area with 
 inferior signals. The ratings are a fraction of what they used to be. Many 
 listeners migrated to KCBS. 
 
 What a waste of a fantastic signal.

CFAX-1070 often relays the games from CKST in our local evenings 
Paul.   That is one very good catch in your location, as you get the 
inverse of the apparent 2 megawatts they send in my direction.

Hi Pete,

CFAX is a fine local station (KGO model: pour in local money and 
local money will pour out), but at 6pm many nights, they turn into a 
pumpkin, and relay live sports from CKST-1040.   In addition, their 
Sunday morning programming before about 8 AM is purest snake oil 
infomercial.   You can't be great all the time.
(but if it keeps the station solvent for the local stuff, it's a 
small price to pay)


all the best,

Nick

It came back on at 0228 with distorted audio. Back with normal audio at 0230.  

Radio-locator does NOT have patterns. This has been explained several times. It 
has predicted coverage area maps. It uses the word pattern at the bottom of 
the maps, which I think is unfortunate. Some resemble the pattern and some not 
as much. 

The CKMX-1060 Calgary night pattern favors west to north with a big null to the 
southeast most likely to protect KYW. It is 50 kW full time.

 KNX has been reported as being off air and while the signal isn't huge here

 Combine KNX being off and  I guess good conditions, I logged  2 new stations 
 to me.
 
 Comedy 1060 Calgary, Alberta. Didn't hear any liners or id's, but listened 
 long enough to hear that it was a comedian on stage, telling jokes with 
 people laughing. signal wasn't great but steady. NEW!!
 
 What is their pattern like? if radio-dislocator is to believed, and we know 
 it shouldnt for like this .. they aren't in pattern.
 
 I logged a sports talker on 1070, they were discussing hockey and the all 
 star game score 17-12 and mentioned a call in line sponsored by a logistics. 
 Going into the break, the host gave an 18 after 11 time check and said 
 You're listening to TSN 1040
 
 I know nothing about Canadian radio..TSN 1040 is Vancouver but i was 
 listening on 1070. Who/where is 1070 and what is their power pattern?
 
 I picked up two stations duking it out on 1080 but wasn't able to ID either 
 one definitively. I suspect one was 1080 The Fan KFXX Portland, as I have 
 heard them here before with their 9kw/3 tower west night pattern.
 
 What I wasn't able to ID is what was under them... and din't get enough 
 details to even make a guess.

CFAX-1070 is licensed to Victoria BC; 10 kW at night with a huge null to the 
south to protect KNX.

 CKMX is not a regular for me. but 1070... is that Vancouver too? why 
 would they have three signals, 1040, 1070 and 1410.. all doing TSN?
