The only "hypocritical and desperate" thing about the linked article is its author, who is severely put upon because one program on WLIB got kicked out by Air America. As far as I know, WLIB's ENTIRE SCHEDULE was displaced by AA. Another so-called journalist of the open-mouth-insert-foot school. A small sidelite on AA. They have evidenly obtained a lease on time from KBLA, 50 kw DA-2 on 1580 kHz. That station is dual licensed to Santa Monica and L.A. Actually, it is only licensed to Santa Monica. It does not put enough signal over LA day and night to be an LA station. and puts a tremendous signal in that area, Actually, it only covers part of LA by day, and very little of it at night. At night, a flashlight-thin lobe heads from Alvarado and the 101 fwy towards Santa Mónica and the ocean. but out here 11 mi east of the transmitter in the San Gabriel Valley I can't hear it on any radio in my house day or night and at night it's lost in the mud on the 210 fwy in East Pasadena==Ted Shireman Which is how it was designed. |
.... There were, at the time of the facilities changes on WOWO, stations with night operations in Kansas City, Anaheim, CA, Portland, OR (50 kw KEX), San Juan, PR and Dallas, TX. In addition, a dominant station on 1190 is KEWK, a 10 kw operation in Guadalajara, Mexico, as well as a half-dozen other fulltimers in Mexico on 1190. There were three Class As on 1190: WOWO, KEX and XEWK. XEWK is grandfathered at 10 kW. WOWO and KEX were (pre-WLIB) 50 kW DA-N, with three towers nights, the usual complement for a U.S. Class I-B. Every other 1190 (pre-WLIB, again) is a non-dominant station, and as such they must all protect the secondary service area of all dominant stations. Also, non-domonant stations on first adjacent-channels, 1180 and 1200, must protect the primary service area of the dominant stations on 1190. Obviously, WOWO's downgrade changes matters a bit. Perhaps a lot. The primary beneficiary of this is the Kansas City 1190. If there are secondary beneficiaries, these are likely to be restricted by the existence of the other Class As, which surely aren't going away, to minor adjustments of their existing patterns, rather than dramatic increases in power or astonishing reduction in protection. Also, Class B 1190 stations anywhere near the U.S.-Canadian border may be restricted by "notified", yet dark, stations in Canada. Those "stations" aren't likely to go anywhere, either. One will observe that WLIB protects WOWO and a non-existant, yet "notified" station in Canada. Any west coast 1190 is going to be limited by KEX and XEWK, and Anaheim and Tolleson haven't been able to get around that fact. |

"Tom Betz" wrote in message ... Quoth "T. Early" in : I guess the simple question, shorn of all the rhetoric, is whether Air America replaced programming by the Coalition of Artists and Activists or not. No, the owners of the station replaced programming by CAA. With Air America. By the way, CAA's programming still has a home on weekends. That's a reasonable distinction. So should I assume that Air America representatives did not approach the owners with an offer, knowing that acceptance of the offer would result in CAA programming being replaced? |
WOWO does have an application for 15 kw nights with a 4 tower DA under its new owners which should restore them to the old I-B status. No. That 4-tower DA is intended to further restrict WOWO's pattern, not to increase it, so that Salem may go unlimited time at its Atlanta station (although there are other problems besides WOWO which will impact Salem's plans). I believe Salem is paying for the new DA, which will be expensive. So, should this 4-tower DA ever be constructed, WOWO may well be above the 10 kW minimum for Class A status, but it wouldn't automatically be a Class A unless and until it could prove it actually had a protected secondary service area, which it won't because of WLIB and Kansas City, and Canada accepted the new pattern. So far, there has not been a case of a significant change in a Class A pattern which was accepted by Canada, save for WSAI/1530, and in order for WSAI to implement that change, protection had to be added to 1520 (WWKB) and to 1540 (ZNS-1) as well as to its intended purpose ... increasing the radiation over Cincinnati. Well, add WBBR to that list as well. Canada has a Class A priority on 1130, but not on 1530 nor on 1190. Nevertheless, Canada is the rate-limiting function here, because of its many "notified" Class Bs. |

Agreed. It would sure be nice if it worked out that way. So we now see the selling out of the Minority Community to 'benefit' the interests of a few White Liberal ELITISTS. These Liberal Elitists only claim to fame is their Leftist Socialist Agenda and using a few radio stations to act as propaganda outlets. Are you sure you aren't confusing them with Pacifica? Not that Pacifica hasn't gone really quite conservative in recent years. Used to be I could tune to WPFW late at night and hear extended rants about killing all the white people, and that's long gone. I sort of miss it, actually. "Air America" in 'name' ONLY In-Fact Very Ugly American Liberal Elitist in Reality ! Hey, if it gets people thinking and it makes a profit, it's doing better than most of the other services that come in over the bird. I did notice a bad buzz when I listened to their feed, though. Also I heard the sort of pumping that you get when you try to use a compressor as an AVC device. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Where DO you people get this crap from? No one has promised "to SERVE the 'under-served' Minority Community" as a condition of a grant of an FCC license for almost three decades. Where have you been? Wouldn't it be nice if someone did, though? Combine that with the Fairness Doctrine and hey, you might have radio worth listening to. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.
