    From Radio Insight: FCC ActionsFollowing a proposal submitted last week from Commander Communications Corporation on behalf of its “Smooth Soul 100.5” WRTM-FM Sharon MS, the FCC is seeking comments in regards to creating a new station class “A10” with a maximum of 10,000 watts effective radiated power (ERP) and 100 meters height above average terrain (HAAT). The proposal also seeks to amend existing facility requirements and minimum distance separation requirements to accommodate the new FM station class. The Class A10 stations would be required to operate with between 6kW and 10kW ERP at the equivalent of 100 meters HAAT. The proposal is another attempt to create a station class between a Class A and C3 following the rejected Class C4 proposal that would’ve created a class of stations operating at 12kW from a reference antenna height of 100 meters above average terrain in Zone II. Unlike that proposal, the A10 class is meant to be utilized across all zones. The proposal with the proposed spacing requirements can be read here.

    From Radio Insight: Morgan Murphy Media’s QueenB Radio has made significant cuts at its Spokane stations. The “Dave, Ken & Molly” morning show at Hot AC “92.9 ZZU” KZZU-FM Spokane. Originally known “The Breakfast Boys”, Dave Sposito and Ken Hopkins were both with the station in the 1980s and were first paired together in mornings in 1992 at then CHR “Zoo-FM” with Allen joining them in 1998. In 2002, the show moved to then sister Hot AC “Star 96.9” KEZE with Allen following them in middays. The trio would move back to KZZU in 2005 when KEZE flipped to Hip Hop and KZZU from CHR to Hot AC. Hopkins has held programming roles at KZZU as PD and/or Operations Manager since 1989. Emily Maguire departs as midday voicetracker at KZZU. The San Diego based Maguire was part of “The DSC” in mornings at multiple stations in that market from 2001 to 2022. At News/Talk “920 News Now” KXLY, Program Director/morning anchor Dave Spencer exits. Spencer was on his third tenure at the company starting at KZZU in 1991. He would hold multiple roles including traffic reporter, sports host, and Music Director at KEZE. He would then join Dave, Ken & Molly as producer from 2006-10. He would join iHeartMedia Conservative Talk 590 KQNT from 2012-20 with time as morning producer, co-host and Program Director and would then join KXLY in January 2022. KXLY will replace the morning show with a simulcast of KXLY-TV’s morning news. Morgan Murphy Media Vice President of Radio Tery Garras told KXLY-TV, ?We are restructuring operations to reflect current economic conditions while maintaining our commitment to our loyal listeners, partners, and community into the future.” more

    From Radio Insight: Townsquare Media’s Tri Cities Divestiture Trust has turned in the license of the former Classic Hits “97.5 Kool-FM” KOLW Basin City/Kennewick WA. Overseen by trustee Alan Blum, the trust was created in 2022 following Townsquare’s purchase of Cherry Creek Media that brought both company’s clusters in the Kennewick/Richland/Pasco market together. At the time of closing, Townsquare moved KOLW’s CHR “Kiss-FM” format to 105.3 KONA-FM Kennewick and flipped KOLW to Classic Hits “97.5 Kool-FM” resurrecting the branding heard on the station from 2004 to 2013. That programming would remain until the station was taken silent in January with Blum noting, ?Due to economic conditions in the market, the licensee was forced to take the station off the air temporarily. The licensee respectfully requests special temporary authority for the station to remain silent. The licensee will promptly notify the Commission when it is able to resume station operations.? Townsquare’s Kennewick/Richland/Pasco cluster includes: Regional Mexican ?La Super 92.5? KZHR, “97 Rock” 97.1 KXRX, Hot AC “98.3 The Key” KEYW, Country 102.7 KORD, CHR “105.3 Kiss-FM” KONA-FM, News/Talk 610 KONA, News/Talk 870/98.7 KFLD, and the Pacific Northwest AG Network. more

    From Radio Insight: The good news about Top 40 was coming in at a fairly rapid clip last week. I profiled WKST (96.1 Kiss) Pittsburgh, Pa., and WHTZ (Z100) New York, but May?s PPM ratings had two dozen other success stories I could have as easily written about. (WRVW Nashville went 4.9-5.8 later that day, along with several other rebounds.) Last Tuesday, Billboard published a story about the reduced footprint of bringbacks and reissues on the Hot 100, attributed to a better flow of superstar product. That Wednesday, LiveLine?s John Garabedian noted that the bulk of the syndicated night show?s requests were suddenly for new music. That same day, the Washington Post declared* ?The Song of Summer is Happening Whether You Like It or Not? after years of being ?not worth talking about.?* That made this tweet the next day from the Wall Street Journal that much more curious: For pop fans, the first half of 2024 was supposed to be the best ever, with new albums from Taylor Swift, Beyonc?, Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish and Dua Lipa. As it turns out, ?Pop Girl Spring??as some called it?has ended up?kind of meh. more
