Longterm Status of Dark KKAM, Lubbock Unknown

On the first of this month, Townsquare Media requested permission from the FCC to turn off the transmitter on news/talk KKAM-AM, Lubbock due to economic conditions in the market. The company’s filing with the Commission states in part, “Due to economic conditions in the market, the licensee was forced to take the station off the air temporarily. The licensee respectfully requests special temporary authority for the station to remain silent. The licensee will promptly notify the Commission when it is able to resume station operations.” Townsquare also operates news/talk KFYO in the Lubbock market. See the Yahoo piece here.
