The billboards are up. KSAS Caldwell "KISS 103.3" is moving to 103.5. Soon.
It all started way back over 11 years ago when someone wanted to add A "first service" FM to Boardman Oregon.
Then Cherry Creek got involved and things went sideways and it's too confusing if I start there.
Working back from 103.3. They are moving to 103.5 because 97.9 KQFC got moved to 102.7 to make room for the KPHD 97.5 Elko move to Melba (as a first service) and 97.7. They later did a one-step to 97.9 in preparation for a facilities swap (see below).
103.3 also had to move because 102.9 KMVX Jerome was moving to 103.1 out of the way of KQFC 102.7.
Now 103.7 KSKI Hailey had to move to 94.5 out of the way of both KVMX and KSAS.
Now the big delay.
KSKI and KVMX (now KZNO) didn't file the required application to move to their new frequencies until earlier this year.
In the meantime, KPHD and KQFC swapped facilities moving the allocation for KQFC Boise back to 97.9 and the allocation for KPHD to 102.7. This to speed things up.
According to the FCC filing KSKI has moved to 94.5 thus allowing KSAS to move to 103.5 and KZNO to move to 103.1.
As soon as they do 102.7 can go on the air! I hear the 102.7 antenna is on the tower (same one KSRV-FM 96.1 "BOB FM" is on).
