Dennis, 'very sad to read this. Still, I'm very glad that they let us
tour their studios. 'Happy you've preserved the event with your camera.
By the way, if you're near a radio listen to 1130 right now--that test
tone is booming in from OR. --Mike Sanburn KG6LJU

Subject: [IRCA] Albuquerque's KALY (1240) – one of the Radio Disney
6 – goes silent
From Radio-Info.com:
This T-R-I Newsletter has been following the progress of Disney's six
sell-off
markets since last November and had identified Albuquerque as one of
them. Now
the New Mexico Board of Radio-Info.com says that KALY was literally
turned off
last week. The first Radio Disney sale was Wichita (KQAM/1480), then
this week
West Palm Beach (WMNE/1600) and Norfolk/Tidewater (WHKT/1650). Sounds
like
Albuquerque is next. Disney bought the 1-kw fulltimer in 2003 for
$650,000.
Based on the haircuts it's been willing to take in Wichita and the
other
markets, it won't get $650K when it sells it here in 2010.
At last year's convention KALY-1240 was one of our studio tours. The
Station Manager was very nice and she spent a lot of time showing us
around and answered all of our questions. She's been in radio a long
time and told us about the many stations she's worked at all across the
country. Hopefully the new owners will keep her on so she won't have to
move again.
Not surprisingly I took a few photos of that tour. Most of these have
only been viewed a few times so have a look (BIG HINT; clicking on any
photo will enlarge it):

Here's my set of 35 photos of the towers of Albuquerque:

Several of the photos show KALY's tower; they share a tower with two
other stations. It's a four tower array and being a graveyarder they
are ND and only use one of the towers. I don't know which one it is.
Diplexing is quite common in Albuquerque.
As of January 27 their application to the FCC for Notification of
Suspension of Operations / Request for Silent STA has been Accepted
for filing. Their Justification for Request is at the bottom:
