Remember what happened to WOWO, | 50,000-watt blowtorch from Fort Wayne that covered 38 states and half of | Canada? | | First, WOWO did not cover 38 states. | | 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. Ah, the good old days. There was quite a spirited debate in rrb at the time. As someone who lived in Kansas City at the time, and who was well aware of what was then KFEZ, I felt it wasn't quite the crime against humanity that some made it out to be. At one time, the 1190 in Boulder, CO also had nighttime service with a DA, but that was given up sometime in the mid 1990s. There was a about a year in Kansas City when KFEZ was off the air after getting struck by lightning *during* a thunderstorm in 1990. 1190 was a very quiet spot on the dial most nights during that time -- or there was a very low level hash. -- Mark Roberts | "If it weren't for stupid people, there wouldn't be news."
