1090 am dead air

O

OldChicago

Someone should contact the owner of 1090 AM. There has been dead air on it for several days. Also, let them know that they have not been shutting off their carrier at sundown, as they should as a daytime only station.

Well I wrote to the e-mail address on the file and 2 days later the audio came back. However the station is still on the air during the nighttime hours when they should not be.

Here are a couple of old article from 1974 when KACO AM, 1090 in Bellville first went on the air.
THE first article talks about their first on air TEST transmission which was done at night after 12:01 AM. THAT article mentions a call from San Antonio and that was me.
I heard them that night on skip and gave them a call... THEY gave out a local phone number and requested reception reports from listeners.

When Lee Dittert owned it and the station actually stood for service to (K) Austin COunty.

Like so many other similar stories; he's dead and gone, and so is his station.

I have just been notified that Don Werlinger passed away on Friday. His deterioration may explain why KULF has been broadcasting dead air for several weeks. How this will affect that status of the license is unknown.
 
Is 1090 still dead air?

I just heard they were in the process of selling it, but can't confirm anything and don't know who it's going to.
 
Well can you at least tell me what it's playing? Feel free to PM me if you want.
