FCC Report 1/15: KROY Gets Deleted

The pending sale of Roy Hendersons 99.7 KROY Palacios TX to New Wavo II
will not proceed as the FCC has dismissed its 2013 license renewal and
deleted the station.

The saga of KROY began in November of 2007 when it filed for a Silent STA
after its tower site was dismantled. A 2009 CP to move to a new location
was never filed for a license to cover in July 2012 and was Silent or
operating without FCC authorization. In response to an FCC letter of
inquiry, Henderson stated that KROY operated from March 1 through 9, 2013
and December 23, 2013 through January 2, 2014 at sites without a license or
STA. That kept the station silent in the FCCs eyes from December 26, 2009
when its final STA expired and March 15, 2014 when it began Program Test
Authority. The FCC determined that the stations license shouldve expired on
12/26/2010 and has deleted the station and all its underlining applications.

Mapleton Communications 99.3 KQMS-FM Shasta Lake City/Redding CA is
stunting with a loop of Tone Locs Wild Thing.

The station had been simulcasting sister News/Talk 1670 KQMS Redding/105.7
K289BT Anderson CA. That station has added a second translator 104.9 K285FE
Redding to fill in some coverage holes. KQMS had swapped frequencies with
what is now Sports 1400 KNRO Redding.

Mapleton has applied for new KWLZ call letters for KQMS-FM.
