Superserving all of Montgomery and Walker counties and their associated growth is probably a better idea than concentrating too much on the Spring-Woodlands area, which is more emotionally linked to the immediate Houston metro area and all its radio competition.It's hard to see the value in moving any radio signal away from the lucrative Spring-Woodlands area and boosting that same signal into farmland north of Huntsville.
They were at a lower power in Willis that only really hurt their signal in Huntsville. South Conroe and The Woodlands signal is pretty much unchangedIt's hard to see the value in moving any radio signal away from the lucrative Spring-Woodlands area and boosting that same signal into farmland north of Huntsville.
The days of "cashing out" are long behind us. They're not going to get anything close to what they got for 103.7. Only religious broadcasters are paying well for licenses these days and I don't see them shelling out millions for a station that only covers Conroe.Wonder how long New Wavo will stay in the radio game before cashing out?
KVST covers both Conroe and Huntsville with local strength. That section of I-45 will see a lot of growth in the next 20-30 years. And if the proposed I-14 gets built, Huntsville will be on a major east-west route as well as the Houston-DFW corridor.Only religious broadcasters are paying well for licenses these days and I don't see them shelling out millions for a station that only covers Conroe.
On what basis do you think this? Remember tropo is kicking up this time of year which can affect perceived signal strengths.I believe KVST is back broadcasting in Willis
Living in Willis close by their aux tower they were on for probably over a year. There’s a lot more bleed over for me and the signal on my SDR is stronger than it was in Huntsville.On what basis do you think this?

I see the new CP for 6k Watts in Willis.The license shows it back at the original site north of New Waverly...no license exists for the Willis tower. It does have a CP for an aux NW of New Waverly but thats it
Decisions in radio are often made for emotional rather than economic reasons. Plus, Woodlands is essentially a bedroom community for Houston, and I'm not so sure if someone would want to listen to a station that becomes unlistenable the closer you move toward Downtown Houston, when there are so many local options available offering a solid, city-grade signal. The move could also be to resolve interference issues to KHGV-LP, or from Dabang 99.5.It's hard to see the value in moving any radio signal away from the lucrative Spring-Woodlands area and boosting that same signal into farmland north of Huntsville.
It has been pretty bad. I think they’re on the Huntsville tower at reduced power. I’m pretty sure they had been on the Willis tower for awhile again.KVST's signal has been pretty awful this week, think they are on an aux site or at lower power than usual. Signal is super staticky going south on 45 just past 336 South.
Perhaps a reshuffling of the engineering staff is in order. This clearly sounds like an engineering matter.It has been pretty bad. I think they’re on the Huntsville tower at reduced power. I’m pretty sure they had been on the Willis tower for awhile again.
So there!I love Reading all this junk about KVST broadcasting on the wrong tower and for about a year now. If any of you are that interested in seeing where we are broadcasting from anytime just call me and I will let you in the Huntsville Tower or Willis tower anytime. The reason the signal was so bad the other night for two days is a translator next door was splattering all over the radio station almost to the front door of the Huntsville transmitter site. I am sure it is not that hard for yall to figure out who this is. . If you are having a problem hearing the station please go to the FCC web site and file a complaint. They are for sure not listening to me about the interference. I have been raising hell about it for over a year. And yes KVST has a licenses to broadcast from either tower location and is in the process of building the bigger Aux 6kw at Wills by the end of November. Want to come and visit just let me know. Have a good one Dade Moore. Need to contact me fill free to anytime [email protected]
Chuck, speaking of transmitters, is there any update on the new transmitter for KKHT? A while back you said KKHT would have “a new sound” once it was installed.So there!
