This is what happens when you don't do maintenance and try to bluff your
way past the FCC Enforcement Bureau. Stroudsburg station WPLY is shut
down and faces bankruptcy on many fronts.
The station, WPLY 960, has been off the air since June, with its tower
system in shambles. It was running 6dB down from its nominal 1000 watt
assigned power (i.e. 250 watts), and only using one of four towers, so
its contours and nighttime coverage were a complete wreck.

New Life on AM for Music of Your Life
_____________________________________
Those who listened to US stations in the late 70's and early 80's
will remember this music format - featuring adult standards - heard
on a large number of AM stations.
After years of decline as listeners moved away from AM, the format
found a new home online [www.musicofyourlife.com] supported by a
small group of generally low power fringe AM stations in areas with
high numbers of retirees.
In a stunning comeback, MOYL has signed a deal with the owner of some
39 AM stations to replace many existing brokered Asian and Spanish
language programs with their formula of 'Great American Songbook' and
complementary adult contemporary hits [think Michael Buble] from
February 1 2012.
What's interesting: Asian and Spanish language programs are replaced
[presumably as their younger listeners migrate to FM and online],
music returns to AM, and some of these high power [10-50kW] stations
are familiar to many listeners: KBLA 1580 in Los Angeles, KIQI 1010
in San Francisco, KXPA 1540 in Seattle, KWRU 940 in Fresno, WNMA 1210
in Miami and many others.
MOYL is targeted directly at the 'baby boomer' market, and is closely
associated with long time artist Pat Boone and his family - he's one
of the personality presenters - and advertisers are clearly seeing
value in using this format on AM radio in major US radio markets to
reach the 55+ listeners.
For these older listeners, it'll be pleasant to tune to AM and hear
familiar tunes and slow paced presenters instead of incessant talk,
chatter and sports. The real test will be - can MOYL move some of the
next generation current 40-55 audience from FM to AM - and breathe
new life back into the AM dial.
>From a radio heritage perspective, this move by MOYL underscores the
appeal of radio and familiar music to the 'babyboomer' generation
which grew up with AM radio, and which increasingly and instinctively
returns to its roots as retirement beckons.
It's this audience which dominates visitors to the Radio Heritage
Foundation website [www.radioheritage.com] and enjoys the hundreds of
entertaining features about broadcasters from their era of radio.
If you're interested in radio from the 1930-1970 era, you'll enjoy
many of the stories, images and memories at www.radioheritage.com.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
I've found out some information, by necessity, regarding Globe Wireless
coastal stations in Australia, VJS Perth Radio and VIE Darwin Radio. I
have been trying to QSL for some time now, and found a reference to
TELSTRA on the main Globe Wireless site. I followed the link to the
TELSTRA site in Australia and came up with what I thought was the
correct address for VJS in Lansdale, Western Australia. Off went the
reception report just after Christmas.
Yesterday, January 25th, I got the disappointing result of having the
report returned as an unknown address. I was really lost at that point
and decided to do some more sleuthing. I went to the website of the
Australian Communications and Media Authority and pleaded my case for
some information as the the licensee of these stations.
Later on today, a very nice email came from Licensing Officer Laureen
Harrison of the Radiocommunications Licensing and Telecommunications
Deployment Section who gave me the web address for their online
database. Lo, and behold! The Licensee for VJS and VIE can be reached
at the following address:
Integrated Technical Services PTY Ltd.
Globe Wireless
GPO Box 3850
Darwin NT 0801
Australia
As a bonus, here is the Australian website for finding the licenses,
licensees and the addresses:
http://web.acma.gov.au/pls/radcom/register_search.main_page
The whole thing is very self-explanatory, much like the FCC databases.
Perhaps those of you whose governments also put this information online
might like to let the groups know where the databases can be found.
This will cut down mightily on returned reports by enabling those of us
who chase QSLs to get the right address from the start.
