[BC] Re: Copper program Loops

[ACN]

Hi Steve.   Yes, I remember the 1250 as a very young kid.   I worked some 
summers there and it was owned by the First Presbyterian Church but was 
operated as a regular commercial station.

The church build the West Seattle transmitter site.   KBLE 1050 is now 
diplexed on that tower.

It was originally a daytimer because of KWSC in Pullman on 1250.  I think at 
one time that were only on the air Sundays and Thursday nights from 7pm.

For years, KWSC did not go on the air on Sundays and signed off Thursday at 
7pm.

When the station was black owned, they pushed the University into allowing 
them the night directional to protect KWSC.

KWSC got Sunday and Thursday night out of the deal.

The Kirkland site was the original Kirkland daytime on 1460, as I recall.

It had to protect daytime 1450 in Puyallup and I think Mount Vernon on 1470?

Tom
