KS Radio: FCC Orders Two Stations To Move Frequencies

Entercom rhythmic Top40 KDGS 93.9 FM Power 93-9, Wichita has begun teasing a move down the dial, effective October 15.

The station will rebrand as “Power 93.5” but keep its format and on-air lineup intact.  And KDGS is offering listeners oppotunities to win $100 with a Phrase that Pays promotion. The phrase: Sames Station, New Frequency, Power 93.5!

The move has been ordered by the FCC.  The agency is forcing KDGS to change dial positions to allow Bott Broadcasting’s religious KCVW 94.3 FM in Kingman, KS to upgrade from a Class C2 to a C1, increasing its power output from 50Kw to 94Kw and giving the station better coverage over Wichita metro.

The order also means KDGS must reduce power output from 25Kw to 15Kw on 93.5 FM.

To the east of Wichita, Niemeyer Communications’ Country “Coyote Radio” KOTE 93.5 FM in Eureka, KS also moves from 93.5 to 93.9 FM on October 15. Its power output will remain the same at 3Kw.
