Kracker is from that neck of the woods. If he saved up his aluminum can money instead of spending it on height enhancers and intoxicants he could buy it no time.

That ol' trickster JTA got him again. "Height enhancers", nothin' but the fake weed giving him a geeky high that makes him think he's 5'2".

This looks like our man. 960 KHz KCGS owned by Kiefer retirement service, odd.

It would have been hard to find, but there are not many stations close to that point on the coverage map  ;D

They do have night time authority and a translator coming which is a plus.  Small market radio is weird though, sometimes the locals won't support it, no matter what you do.

Re: 5,000 WATT RADIO STATION FOR SALE. The Catholics will snap it up.

   In WV a Catholic network has snapped up a bunch of AM stations around the state. Right where I am I can hear the same programing on 3 stations. Somehow, I don't see them giving Southern Baptists a stiff competition here though. However, you talk about bland radio to listen to on AM. YUK!!!!

“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”
