KDWN 720 and KXST 1140 in Las Vegas have officially gone silent on March 2, 2023. There was the national anthem, the Nevada state song, a picture of the transmitter sites using slow scan TV, and morse code.
Audacy sold the land upon which the towers are located for $40 million!
Beasley used to own KDWN. They initially sold the land where the original towers once stood, then diplexed KDWN on the KXST site.
Audacy swapped KXTE 107.5 for Beasley's KDWN 720 and K268CS 101.5 with no money changing hands. The reason for the swap was to get Audacy out of the lease with Beasley for KDWN. This enabled Audacy to sell the land to Amazon for $40 million. The towers will eventually come down, and Amazon will build a warehouse.

Classy Sign-off. Sad. I hope the future includes a new radio powerhouse from Las Vegas to serve the Southwest airwaves with dignity.

Out of curiosity, I looked up the Q codes in Morse Code; “QRT” is short for, “I am ending transmission / turning off the radio”. Therefore, the last line of text reads “KXST is suspending operation, ending transmission and signing off” and “KDWN is suspending operations, ending transmission and signing off”.

The engineer for this station group is a good friend of mine, and is a ham in the local community. It was a cool little addition to the closing broadcast.

When they shut the AM stations here never herd them use Morse Code at the end as they just shut them down followed the sign off. Many more AM stations will continue to shut though out the US as they are doing in the UK & EU as well on AM & Long Wave though not used in North America.

that's one hell of a way to sign off

Like spark gap and commercial use of morse code, AM sadly is on its way out. Demand for the real estate, increasing costs and competition from streaming, it's only a matter of time before AM goes completely dark. The SSTV and morse message at the end was a nice touch.

Not to mention power costs vs. listener share. Sad, because at times AM is all you can get in some areas out west! The big clear channel flamethrowers were beacons of information in the endless dark miles. Many memories of listening to Art Bell while driving across the country.

AM Radio will change but not go away anytime soon. New regulations are going to change manufacturers and receivers as well as stipulations on broadcasting itself.

Well, that's one way to sign-off a station one last time.

Very sad to see them go. Instead of completely going dark, I think signing off for 2 nights a week would be more plausible.

They are going silent because Audacy is selling the land to Amazon for $40 million. The first thing Amazon will do is knock down the towers.

So, selling off a radio station to allow Amazon for an accessible delivery service to the Las Vegas area? That is quite unusual but, okay.

Many of those who own radio stations aren't radio persons, they are capitalists and it's money alone that matters. Like 40 million level money.

Okay now it makes sense why KXTE was sold to Beasley after watching this.

This is wonderful but sad. I'm wondering what is the signal right at 700khz? A local spur?
@nickd2011
@nickd2011 Год назад
Yes, the 699 kHz signal is a spur generated by my car. When I tune my car radio to 700 I heard a heterodyne whenever the engine is on. I drive a hybrid car. The antenna I used for the SDR is bad on the AM band, and I kept it inside the car so that further knocked down the signal. I had to be right next to the transmitter site

A.J. Williams was the cofounder of the station, along with Jack Reeder. Williams died in 2005, while Reeder died sometime before, giving the station’s ownership to him.
