I personally think its next incarnation will be Spanish.
"Radio Quince-Ochenta, cincuenta MIL watts de potencia" does kinda have a ring to it...
de acuerdo, mi amigo...o radiodifusión religión.
Salem has enough Ancient Modulation stations in the Valley, so we count them out.
Radio Hogar (KASA) might want to upgrade puny 15~Forty for 15~Eighty, but they recently overpaid for 5~Eighty in Marana.
KFNN..aka the illegal power alien...could legally run with more power at night by trading in their 15~Ten for 15~Eighty. But they really don't need the 50w night power after 6pm..only during the winter when they're supposed to power down to 100 watts prior to 6pm. Ahem, ahem, ahem!
Mother Hubbard? She's got three FM's and only two Ancient Modulation stations. Nah.
Immaculate Heart? 13~Ten is puny at night and eventually will have to leave the Mesa Cemetery. Dunno....they could duplex 13~Ten from the 15~Eighty site and have one station in English, el otro en Espanol.
Crawford. They know how to do religion well, but they'd be a little late to the game. However the bragging rights that go with 50Kw day and night might work for them.
Los Buckeye Boyz - we're just as Looney Tunes as the rest of the bidders, plus we know how to run rodeos from a parking lot.
...any other likely suspects?
