The Clock Begins Ticking for 1230 KCOH

For those of us interested in such a thing, this would be an opportune time to snatch a graveyarder that you typically can't, given our own local KCOH is usually covering anything else up @ 1230kHz. For the first time in quite some time, our little 1kW from Ennis St. is off the air completely, and likely signifies the change of steward for KCOH is not far behind. Nothing has hit the filings showing up as a consummation notice as of yet, but as I'm sure most frequenting the HAIF's radio section know, it typically takes a little time.

 

May be one of the few chances you'll likely get to snag the ever elusive co-channel KSIX Corpus Christi or KWTX Waco, while the gettings good. 

 

Happy hunting, fellow DXers!

In this development, what will this mean for the employees at 1230 KOCH-AM, who've been working there for years & years ?

They've moved to 92-9 HD2 I believe, as well as online.

Yes, as Mouse said, the former KCOH (now KKBQ-HD2) employees are not affected by the sale of 1230 to Pueblo de Galilea, LLC. This thread is regarding the actual KCOH facility, licensed by the F.C.C.

 

To update: after 2 days off, KCOH is back on the air. Albeit with very low audio. It has returned to simulcast with 850 KEYH. 

 

You see, Joe? This is why I suggested "Q2" for what's on 92-9 HD2. It's just frustratingly confusing with Beyond Broadcasting still associating itself with the legendary calls, when its programming no longer airs on the actual KCOH facility itself.

 

Here's the official scorecard, readers.

 

KCOH: Regional Mexican "La Ranchera"; currently pending license transfer and subsequent sale.

 

"Q2": Beyond Broadcasting programming currently available on KKBQ-HD2, and which employs longtime KCOH on air personality Ralph Cooper.

 

Hope that helps clear the confusion we currently face with the tale of two KCOHs.
