WUMD is on carrier current in the Balt-Wash
 corridor.  We'd like to upgrade to full
 broadcast.  

Considering the local saturation, we aren't
 even imagining going FM.  We've got lots of
 tech specs about the procedure, and there's
 no way we can do it.

Strangely, we know very little about the 
 requirements for AM broacasting.  How tough
 is it to file w/ the FCC, how saturated is
 the market, will be able to get a frequency,
 etc?

Any input would be helpful.

Hello everyone.

I had been an avid reader of this group last spring, but have been away for
a while.  While I had been here, there was talk of creating a database of
College Stations.  I am wondering where I can get a hold of this list.

Also, while I am taking up net-space, I suppose I could introduce myself.
I am a part of the University of Colorado at Boulder's Campus station KUCB.
We are presently a carrier current/cable FM station that is trying to 
convince people to give us LOTS of money to purchase a full power licence.
We are concorruntly looking for a new licence from the FCC, but the Boulder-
Denver market is jam packed, and it does not look good.  

Have any stations out there been involved in similar undertakings recently?
I would like to speak (or perhaps 'tap' :-]) with others who may be of
assistance.

Forgive me if I'm late in joining this thread, but I've been DYING to know,
WHY??? did they fire Leykis??

I tune in faithfully and all of a sudden last Monday, ok, Raider game, no big
deal, Tom'll be on tomorrow.  Nope, sure 'nuff, there's ol' Darryl.  AT first
I just thought he was filling in, as he did for Barbara Whitesides a while
back. But then I heard the commercial for his new 3-6 show. So, What's up
with that? 

The next morning I'm watching the KTLA morning news and on Sam Rubin's enter-
tainment report he says he's going to tell us "the real reason Leykis was 
canned", so I set it to tape, but something got screwed up and I ended up with
a half hour of sesame street. I'm dying to know.  Leykis was their most highly
rated show!  Was it the new Peter Tilden show of KABC beating them in the 
ratings?  I can't imagine that, Tilden's show is often totally meandering and
disjointed, it can't beat Leykis.  I thought it might be more likely that Tom
did something to get him canned, or else why not just put him on Saturdays or
something, over instead of Press or Crummie or something?  Please, somebody 
enlighten me or point me to the right source (magazine, newsgroups?) to find 
out where Tom went.  It's so bad I don't even wear my walkman to school any-
more.

When I was mustered out of the service in January of
1947, I got some sort of bonus...a few hundred $.
When I got home, I blew the whole wad, and then some on
the purchase of a Hallicrafters SX-42 communications
receiver, which I still have, and a Webster wire recorder,
patterned after the Utah Electric used by the military.
The SX-42 was the first full-band receiver to include the
present FM band, I think.  Anyway, I engaged in a fury of
activity, stringing antennas, folded dipoles, speaker
cabinets, and the like.  I fired up the receiver, turned
on the recorder, and tuned in whatever was the first good
signal I stumbled over.  It was BBC.  I put the Webster
into record and made the first magnetic recording of my
career.  It was an Englishman playing Rimsky-Korsakov's
"Flight of the Bumblebee" on a Banjo.  I was reminded of
this tonight when I watched a PBS show featuring the
"Flecktones", led by a really good banjo player working
with Branford Marsallis and others.  He was masterful, as
was the guy on BBC.  A Banjo is to a guitar what a
harpisichord is to a piano.  IMHO, that is.

Before you answer this, I *know* the answer. This is more of a complaint than
a question.

Classic example is In The Heartland, a local classic rock show produced
and hosted by a well-known local musician. ("Firing Off the Cleveland Classics
... This is In The Heartland.") Of course there is exactly _one_ song by a
local artist (a "Cleveland Classic") played in each 30-minute show. The rest 
is pretty much standard classic-rock fare. And this is in a town which is 
supposedly known for rock & roll... you would think that there would be more
of a push to promote local talent in a city with Cleveland's rich musical
culture... well, it helps when the musicians can get some airplay. But they
never can.

I was discussing this with a local PD a few months back, and he said
"Well, the quality of most of the local artists' recordings aren't good
enough to put on the radio." Fine. There are still tapes (and CD's!) out there
that are.

Grr... Cleveland radio is so unoriginal and derivative...

[Moderator's Note:  Alternative/AOR outlet WCBR (92.7) in Chicago's NW suburbs
does quite a bit of local stuff.  One of the reasons they are doins so well
in the market.]

My C-Quam system sounds better than all the other AM systems
in my market. I don't have to spend but a few minutes a
month keeping it sounding that way. I have taken test drives
in three GM cars that have the new AM stereo radios in them
that meet the AMAX specs and they sound great.(Especially my
AM). 

Mr. Higdon, if you want to turn off the stereo in your

dominate in the AM band. BTW--I run satellite music during

	Regarding DMX service, I've had it installed here (in St. Louis, via
TCI cable) for several months now.  I'd give it 7 out of 10 overall.  The
cable company has made no offer to sell the decoder box, and the monthly
rental is $10 per box (I have two; one for each sound system) for the
standard service, which includes a remote.
	Pluses: a wide variety of musical formats, including 3 classical
channels (symphonic, chamber, and opera/operetta) two jazz channels
(contemporary and classic), a world beat channel, New Age, blues, reggae,
theatre music (mostly original cast recordings), country, various commercial
pop and rock; high-quality sound (not *quite* CD-quality but close enough)
with a wide dynamic range (very useful for the classical channels); no
commercials. 
	Minuses: music mix is pretty obviously random, probably coming from
banks of CD changers programmed for random track selection; segues between
tracks are occasionally clumsy, especially on the theatre music channel;
suffers from an intermittent form of interference that takes the form of a
loud "pop" every now and then (I think this is a local transmission problem),
but this is rather rare; TCI's implementation charges an extra $3.50 per month
per box for "DJ" service, which gives you the ability to determine the title
of the selection being played using the display on the decoder.  Otherwise,
no program guide of any kind is supplied.
	IMHO, the pluses outweigh the minuses, at least at these prices.  And
as an early subscriber, I got free installation.  In my case, this meant TCI
ran cable to my second floor free.  I then installed a signal splitter and
some extra coax and got an extra cable tap for my bedroom TV <grin>.

Corregidor......

Awhile ago I posted a memento in which I described
a home-built radio which used type 27 tubes which I
called a tetrode.  I got mail from north Carolina who
took me to task, telling me that the 27 was a triode,
not a tetrode.  Be it known that I was wrong and the
respondent was right.  I went up in the attic to recover
the poor things, and they are not 27s but 24s.  It has
a five-pin base, with the anode brought out to a hickey on
top of the bulb.  In that same article, I guessed that the
audio output was a 47.  It checks out with the tube manual..

Yeah, I noticed this when I was in Honolulu for a week earlier this year.
The station I listened to for most of the time, 'hot i94' would only
identify one or two songs out of a set of 4, 5, or more songs they played.
The same applies on the hit music station in Auckland New Zealand (91FM),
so this trend is not confined to Boston.

I always thought this was a ploy to make you listen to the station for the
next time they play that song, just in case the do announce the song and
artist title.  I noticed that whenever I heard a regularly played song I
didn't know, they would always announce the title and artist eventually.

Also, they always seemed to identify new songs, but old songs were only
sometimes identified.  I thought the idea is that since these songs are
old, you're supposed to know the title and artist anyway.

But on another note, the kind of songs these stations play, you could almost
always guess the song title from the lyrics.

As for rock stations, well the Honolulu rock stations also indulged in this
practice, but they would put a title and artist to a larger proportion of
songs than the hit music station would.

STOP PRESS - maybe that's why some artists' names find their way into their
songs.  For example, Boys 2 Men's 'Motown Philly'.
