HUNTER:
With the deepest respect, why would anyone care about a station rated at 1,000 watts designated at 1500 on the AM band?

ME: I'm a radio geek. Interest in radio, more than the casual listener. Like a few others here, I keep up on trends, etc.

Hunter, I agree with you. One only need to look at the recent AMs shut down in St. Louis area: 1190, 1430 & 1490. Forced off by the FCC. Nobody bought those open frequencies licenses. Telling.

"FCC announced on February 8, 2021, that the former EMT-licensed AM allocations in the St. Louis market, including KZQZ's frequency, would go up for auction on July 27, 2021.[48] No bids were received for any of the four frequencies during the eight-day auction." -Wikipedia
