Personally I think it would be a great idea for 760KFMB to be the LP-1 or 2. It has never made sense that KOGO and KPOP/KLSD being co-located at the same studio facility to be so vulnerable, and the transmitters are a little more than a kilometer apart. KFMB is in Santee, and fairly protected. The 760 signal is the best in SD. And it would help KFMB's image of being a news talk station.

Way back in the day when all of this started, nobody wanted the responsibility of LP-1 or 2, so it kind of fell in the lap of KOGO by default (since they had all that cool equipment down in the transmitter basement they could broadcast with). Especially since you were really sticking your neck out with the new EAS stuff that just never seemed to work. I was asked if I would take LP-2 for KSON-FM and I said I would seriously consider it, but it never went further. I think making KFMB a 1 or 2 would be a good move to serve the public, but you know the first question is going to be "how much will it cost? What are the potential liabilities?"

Anyone remember Jed The Fish doing a tornado warning on KROQ? http://www.thefreelibrary.com/TALKIN'+RADIO+%3A+KROQ+WEATHER+WARNING+GETS+A+STORMY+RECEPTION.-a083841126If I recall, it actually went like this: "I hate to inconvenience you, but there's a tornado warning for the next little while, so you might want to grab your bitches."

Mr. Buffaloe, I dont believe that, that studio in the basement exists anymore. Infact the board down there had every cap and fuse in it blown up!

Randy, The column today at NCTimes.com:
you missed KNX and KFI coverage of the great "Honey, I oppsed the capacitor" last week. KNX had coverage, and KFI's Tim Conway Jr., had a laugh riot with "What The Hell Did Jesse Jackson Say" with blackout coverage. There were calls from San Diego county as well.
This from two stations outside of the market and whose primary audience (for ratings) are north of the county line. There is a sizable listening to each station.
That doesn't short change the fine work that KOGO did. Rick Roberts and JM on the AM had coverage too, on 760 KFMB intermixed with KFMB-TV.

I was being facetious. There was also a darkroom down there way back when Kogo. |

Randy: Lynn Harper misses you.. Other than that, KCBQ needs to be forced off the air..It's an embarrassment to radio standards.

Plenty of defective AMs with inadequate signals have made a nice business with religious or ethnic programming. It's a legitimate use for a less-than-full-market signal, and certainly no reason to demand that a station be "forced" off the air. |
