RE: WREN now all sports]
Entercom has applied for KKGM (The Game) for their new 24/7 sports
station on 1250. Transmitter site has moved from the old WREN site
between Topeka and Lawrence to the far NE reaches of KC. The nighttime
signal into southern KC and the KS suburbs is terrible, at best.

I wouldn't be surprised if KIKI had to get a transmitter part from Nova
Scotia if they have a Nautel transmitter. That's where they make them.
Maybe KIKI needed a proprietary part.

That sounds very much like KCKK in Lakewood, Colorado. And I would
bet it is also.

That is Lakewood, CO on 1600.

**Pete Taylor - Tacoma WA - taytac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
1600 was KYGO until a few months ago when it assumed the same calls as
its FM station. It used to pop in here frequently about an hour before
local sunrise. While KYGO was simulcasting KCKK, I never heard the KYGO
calls during the top-of-the-hour ID. In January I was told the AM would
carry brokered programming. I guess they decided not to bother.
