Noticed this past weekend that Classic Country KGVL "Friendlee" 1400 AM flipped to Classic Hits branded as "EZ Rock 105.9". Can't say I'm surprised considering how horrible the past branding was for "Friendlee", though I had figured E Networks would keep it country. It'll be interesting to see how this version of Classic Hits works out for KGVL considering they've had the format more than once in the past. Semi-related KGVL does have an application for an additional translator on 107.7 FM.

KGVL still in AM-Stereo?

I remember emailing with Hue Beavers some years back and he liked the C-QUAM AM Stereo. He had KAAM sounding great about 10-15 years ago, I recall he said he had the audio bandwidth out to 10-12 kHz. I think it was digital "HD" he didn't like because of the added noise. And of course the C-QUAM had to go away when KAAM tried "HD" for a while. But that's been a while and I may be all wrong. Some time ago now, I noticed KGVL was the only AM Stereo station in Texas listed on the AM Stereo web site still maintained by Chris Cuff. I could pick it up in stereo during the day. But that's been since they were oldies last time around!

Probably so, just getting too old! I remember talking to an engineer at WBAP after their trial HD run, was told they had no plans to return the AM Stereo mainly because the equipment was getting old and some parts were no longer available for repairs.
Meanwhile this morning I got out my old CD-R of KAAM 770 and Hubcap Carter from August 2003. Sure sounds good! Audio provided by my original Sony SRF-A100. Hubbie forgets to turn down the telephone audio while taking a "suggestion"!

Have you heard it lately? I just tried looking up KLLS, no stream available anywhere I tried, and radio-locator says "KLLS-AM Technical Details:Station Status: Currently Off the Air AM Station".
