FM Changes
Craig Hanson’s Media Advisors LLC is seeking a waiver to modify the contour of “True Oldies 107.7” KCAY Enterprise UT to allow him to own five overlapping stations in the St. George UT market. Hanson, who owns four other FMs under Redrock Broadcasting in the market, proposes changing the antenna on its current CP to upgrade from a Class A to C2 to operate with 7.6kW horizontal/377m.
Redrock already operates Classic Hits “98.9 Kool-FM” KRQX Hurricane, Country “102.3 Real Country” KUTQ La Verkin, CHR “Mix 103.1” KURR Hildale, and Classic Rock “104.1 Zion-FM” KZYN Toquerville in the St. George market.
After the commission gave iHeartMedia Rock 96.3 WROV-FM Martinsville VA thirty days to amend its application to change community-of-license to New Market VA, the application has been withdrawn.
