Hey, KGYN 1210 is one I've heard in Central Ohio

I suppose that will make it easier to hear by 200 miles.

Or WCSJ-1550 (Morris, Illinois) to Amado, Arizona on 670...

Am I reading this right? Somebody wants to move a station across 6 states?

Checking FCC site. Yeah, that's what they want to do.

This is completely assinine. Why not just apply for a new station?

I suppose the Akron one... (which one do they own?)

IIRC WTAM-1100 is their Cleveland AM - I'm sure they'll want to keep
that - but nothing in Akron comes anywhere near the proposed Stow
signal, IMHO they'd be glad to trade it to Family Stations if that gets
them approval for the 1170 move.

Clear Channel actually owns two AMs in this market (Akron). In
addition to WTOU "Fox Sports 1350" (the historic country WSLR), which
they picked up in the Barnstable deal with WKDD/96.5, they recently
bought WHLO/640 from Salem. WHLO was flipped to a news/talk format
shortly after the purchase.

My gut tells me that they won't give up either 640 or 1350 to Family
Radio...and that somehow they'll move or pay FR to shutter 1150 to get
the move accomplished.

Of course, since the Barnstable purchase, 96.5 - still licensed to
Akron - became Cleveland market "96.5 Kiss FM", and the WKDD
programming moved to 98.1 Canton...the former WHK-FM, once owned by
Salem.

Which is what they did in CA to get two co-channel 1150s off of L.A.'s 1150 in
order to do a 50/44 kW upgrade there.

Because of all the noise on the AM band, the FCC will not authorize a new AM
station.

What I want to know is what CCU hopes to add. Most of the AM stations in
Cleveland are crap.

That's going to be a real disappointment to the thousands of applicants who
applied for new stations.

A large number of the January window applications are for new stations.

That must be news to the 893 people who filed applications for new
stations earlier this year, in cities as large as Philadelphia...

(I have heard some speculation that the ultra-long-distance moves like
Mississippi=Arizona are typos.)
