A friend who lives in northern Missouri, between the coverage areas on 1400 of KCOG (Centerville) and KFRU (Columbia, Mo.) tells me that, for the past couple of weeks, he's heard no signs of KCOG, with KFRU coming in clearly, if weakly, at his location south of Kirksville, Mo. Online news coverage of Centerville has really gone downhill since the Iowegian was "merged" into the Ottumwa Courier, so no luck there. This is a long-shot question, but I'm wondering if there's anyone out there with any recent information about KCOG. Thanks in advance!

Thanks - I saw that, too. KMGO's been on an STA for several years, but that's a different story.
By the way, my interest comes about because one of the places I grew up was Centerville, in the days *before* KMGO. I've also done some research on KCOG's history and it's kind of amazing that it survived. It was in receivership in the 1950s and was stuck at 100 watts until the 1960s. I was in Centerville last year and it seemed like the main purpose for KCOG now is to be the station that its FM translator relays.

My correspondent now informs me that KCOG's signal is back after about two weeks off, squeezed in tight between KFRU (Columbia, Mo.) and WGIL (Galesburg, Ill.).
