The Fate of KAAY's Nighttime Signal?

 Friend of the blog Doug Virden shared this with me:

"AM Changes

After losing one of its three towers in 2020, Cumulus Media's Christian 1090 KAAY Little Rock is now applying to eliminate the other tower utilized only for its nighttime array.  The move will drop KAAY to just 80 watts at night and dropping from a Class A to a Class D.  KAAY will continue to operate with 50kw non-directional during the day."

Therefore, it will go from this nighttime pattern:

To this:

Estimations give maybe 20 miles coverage...virtually no signal in Little Rock proper.  The transmitter is in Wrightsville, AR....

Many are mourning this latest development.  There are many comments on the KAAY-AM, The Mighty 1090 Facebook page.

Thanks to Doug and Greg.
