Michael Halloran, well-known local rock radio personality, filed an 281-page Informal Objection to the FCC license renewal of KSDS (FM) San Diego, a service of the San Diego Community College District. In his 281-page treatise, Halloran touched on several issues with the district’s management of the station:

• “KSDS’s failure to serve the needs and interests of the community is egregious…Absolutely no news or community-issue oriented programming is presented on the station.” He cites the station’s online public inspection file that he says has no “issues-programming lists.”
• The station, he said, loses money annually and is financially dependent on San Diego City College for funds that are not used for educational purposes.
• He repeatedly cites as an example of KSDS management neglect the continued employment of then Chief Engineer Gerald “Larry” Quick. Halloran says fellow employees had complained for years of behavioral issues and abuse. Quick resigned from KSDS in early 2016 after he was accused of theft of station equipment and spent time in jail.

I asked Mike Halloran about his Informal Objection:

iHeartMedia filed an application with the FCC on November 11, 2021, for a Minor Modification to relocate their KOGO (AM) 600 kHz transmission system to the current KGB-AM (formerly KFMB-AM) 760 kHz site at the western boundary of Santee.

The move is part of the sale of the land under the KOGO towers by Vertical Bridge to a residential developer. KLQV (FM) 106.5 and KWFN (FM) 97.3 will also need to move and KWFN has filed to move to the nearby KGB-FM tower.

The FCC announced on November 29, 2021 the first round of processing of applications for non-commercial FM stations filed during the short, recent window. They listed a large group of applications locally they consider to be mutually exclusive (“MX”) and one dismissal.
