Pete Taylor - Tacoma WA - taytac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Puget Sound happenings: KJR-950 is installing its new 50kw XR at the co-
owned KHHO site near Port of Tacoma Road in Tacoma. Two towers have
been added (there are now six) and they plan on testing it starting in
mid-January. Look for some down time and a possible change in signal
strength. They will have a fat northerly lobe (which means I'll be
getting about 100kw in my face). They would have installed it at their
present site but couldn't do a proof because of buildings, cranes etc.
in the area. KHHO-850 is simultaneously installing a new XR. It should
be stronger (the old one was operating at about 65%) and louder (new,
KJR-like audio processing). They will eventually split programming with
KHHO carrying a different sports format. Meanwhile, at Salem
Commujications, Construction of KAZJ-1680 facilities has not yet begun
(the CE says they will probably have a sports format and apply for
KSEA). Likewise, nothing's happening with the KKOL-1300 power increase
due to landlord and/or permit delays. And finally, KAYO-920 is still
off (as of 1/1); phone calls there as to what's happening have never
netted much information and my 12/30 call was no exception.

fyi, looks like no more K101-FM simulcast on KNEW. CNET, AMFM to launch
``tech'' radio in San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 4 (Reuters) - High-
tech Silicon Valley workers will soon be able to turn off the soft rock
and tune in to software news on their car radios. Technology news and
information company CNET Inc. and radio broadcaster AMFM Inc. announced
Tuesday they will join forces to create CNET Radio, the country's first
all-tech radio format. It will be launched this month in San Francisco
on AMFM's KNEW AM station, and the companies plan to develop the new
format in the San Francisco Bay area, with plans to roll it out
nationally by the end of 2000. Broadcasting from CNET's San Francisco
studios, CNET will produce daily tech-focused news radio programming,
from the start of the morning drive to the end of the evening commute.
CNET Radio will draw on CNET's extensive experience producing technology
news and information online and on television. CNET Radio will have a
companion Web site at www.cnetradio.com <http://www.cnetradio.com>,
which will feature live streaming audio of CNET Radio broadcasts, as
well as information on CNET Radio programming and talent, useful Web
links, and other resources for the listener community. ``AMFM, CNET and
KNEW are early movers in bringing a full day of relevant, important
technology news to radio listeners enabling them to better understand
the opportunities presented by new technology and the new economy,''
said Brent Osborne, General Manager of KNEW. ``With the addition of
radio to our leading online and television properties, CNET is emerging
as the prototypical media company of the 21st century -- a dynamic
merging of mediums with the Internet at its core,'' said Halsey Minor,
chairman and chief executive officer of CNET. The AMFM Radio Group has
more than 440 stations in 100 markets and reaches a weekly listener base
of approximately 64 million people.

Jim Hilliker, a former IRCA member and a friend of mine, works at Clear
Channel in Salinas, California. They have just revived 1460 (KTXX) in
Salinas after having been dark at least 10 years (former call was KDON).
They are looking for reception reports; KTXX is all sports carrying the
One-on-One sports network. Their slogan is "The Dude" (don't ask me
why!). Please send reception reports to Jim at:
903 N. Main Street
Salinas, CA 93906
Jim will do his best to get you a verie.
It appears that a new, never before tried format is heading for KNEW-910
in Oakland, California. I have attached the story as it appeared in this
morning's Los Angeles Times. Any thoughts on how successful it might be?

Article in our local paper, thanks to Rich Toebe for pointing it out to
me!:
Published Thursday, December 30, 1999, in the San Jose Mercury News
Menlo Park launches emergency broadcasts
MENLO PARK -- The Menlo Park Police Department is ready to alert the
city's residents to emergencies with broadcast warnings on a new AM
radio system.
Cmdr. Dominick Peloso said city officials decided to launch the
experiment two years ago when San Francisquito Creek flooded a handful
of homes and streets. ``People were asking,´´ Peloso said, ``How do we
get up-to-date and accurate information?´´ Peloso said concerns about
Y2K issues made this weekend the logical time to get the system running.
If problems arise with the New Year, details and responses will go on
the air as they occur. There's one hitch: Only about half of the city's
30,000 residents have automobiles built since 1993 with expanded AM
radio dials necessary to pick up the broadcast at the frequency of 1670,
Peloso said. Menlo Park spent about $12,000 for the system, which allows
authorized staff members to update information by connecting with a
telephone.
