``That is or was the home of these iHeart stations absenteely owned and licensed to OKC: KTOK 1000, KREF 94.7, KXXY 96.1, 98.5 xltr, KTST 101.9, KJYO 102.7. Per FCC Queries. IHM also has a Tulsa cluster and a few other OK stations outside the OKC market. So what is going on here. iHeart pulling out of OKC or just moving to another building?Glenn Hauser, Enid``
Adam Rivers replied: ``Many iHeart facilities have downsized over the last year or so. Mine has not, but buildings have merged, etc. like Lancaster into Harrisburg, PA, etc.``
On Feb 18, John Zondlo replied: ``The auction conducted Thursday {sic} was of property at our old 50 Penn Place offices. We have only brought over to our new location a handful of items. Honestly, much of that stuff has seen its better days, and I'm not sure why some folks even bothered to bid on it.
At 50 Penn, our home for 44 years, we occupied about half of the 10th floor of this office building. The 10th floor was occupied by sales and management. We also had the entire 11th floor, occupied by programming, for our 7 stations here. We also occupied a portion of the 12th floor for the Oklahoma News Network, 4 farm networks, and the Oklahoma Baptist University sports network (which I produce). With all of the cuts made by iHeart/Clear Channel in recent years, we had way too much space for too few people.
Our new digs are at 6525 N. Meridian in OKC in a 6 story office tower (recently renovated, barely occupied). We have 4,000 square feet now, a fraction of what we had at 50 Penn. The broadcast and office equipment is, for the most part, brand spanking new.
There is still quite a bit of broadcast equipment left at 50 Penn that is being inventoried and will be disposed of in various ways.
So, to sum it up, we are still alive and well in OKC and serving our area to the best of ability with a skeleton crew. And I say that as I'm here at KGHM 1340 producing a LOCAL high school basketball game. John Zondlo - Yukon, OK``
Thanks, John. He is/was better(?) known as an FM DX editor for VHF-UHF Digest of the Worldwide TV-FM DX Association; who refuses to publish my few but detailed FM DX logs since they would occupy more than one line each. Yes, KGHM 1340 is another IHM station I overlooked, since it is licensed to suburb Midwest City for no particular reason. Did I miss another? To total magic 7 would have to include that one translator (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 91.7, KOSU, Sat Feb 19 at 1830 UT, I am listening on caradio on way to and from Box 1684, with a very interesting show about the origins of tape recording in Nazi Germany, and later into Vietnam war archive interviews; next week to be about how ``cassette tapes created the Internet``. Closed at 1859 UT without any program ID. Must have been `Radiolab` as per KOSU sked. All I want to do is find a recording/podcast of this week`s complete show since I heard only some fragments. But program website https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab is completely unhelpful, not even a search funxion: all kinds of stuff in segments for years, and some seem on related topix, but I give up! One thing I noticed that in SFX of tuning an AM radio in Britain overnight after BBC signed off, hearing classical music on strong German stations: did Hitler make the musicians play all night? we hear squishy noises and RTTY! Better not be on AM!! Or a horrible radio picking up SW images. How could Radio people be so ignorant about the basix? But such nonsense is standard for tuning-around SFX (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
