KISR signal

What is up with the signal of KISR? It used to be a 100,000 watt blowtorch, but it has been operating on flea power for a while now. It used to have a have a moderate signal up in Fayetteville, but now it is almost all static. I initially thought it was a temporary issue, but this has been going on for almost a year now.

Is it a transmitter issue that Fred Baker doesn't want to fix?
 
Not sure if this has anything to do with it or not, but KISR applied to move its transmitter to the KFTA "Fox 24" site, slightly lower its power and lower its transmitter height by about 200 feet. Also, in October, it applied for an auxiliary permit, which would have a transmitter on the Arkansas/Oklahoma state line and operate at a little under 400 watts.

I don't know the rationale behind these changes, but, if it goes through with the transmitter move, KISR should get a much better signal in Fayetteville at the expense of areas south of Ft. Smith.
