I guess recycling is popular in LA Radio. How many times has that station been down that path? 540/San Diego, 1260/LA, 1510/San Rafael and 1050/Frazier Park take turns being K-Mozart. Maybe he thinks it will get popular sooner or later? Mike Hawkins On Mon, Apr 4, 2011 at 12:19 AM, Mike

I checked 1660 kHz a few minutes ago and KUDL (ex-KXTR) was broadcasting classical music. I assume they'll also be carrying minor league KC T-Bone baseball games. Considering it's the closest station to me on 1660, its signal doesn't get out very well. Barely audible during the day, and at

Mike, It seems that so many stations that change format, they are searching for that Gold Ring format that will make them riches and number 1 in their market. It is an old story, but unfortunately on AM in this country, very few AMs make it into the top 20, let alone #1. An FM station has a
