The FCC in late October approved the Educational Media Foundation’s request to swap callsigns between two of their San Diego County FM stations. 102.1 MHz on Mt. Soledad became KLVJ and 100.1 Julian became KPRI. This is the third frequency in San Diego to identify itself as KPRI, the first being 106.5 in the 1970s and early 80s.
Does this signal an intent to sell the Julian property? Does anyone else find it interesting that both KLVJ 102.1 and KLQV 102.9, transmitting from the same building atop Soledad, market themselves as K-LOVE (though the latter is in Spanish)?
Director of Engineering Andrew Lombard, parted company with KFMB Stations last Friday. He had replaced retired DoE Rich Lochmann in November of 2014. Andrew says he is “actively seeking new opportunities.”
The term “flypack” has meant many things over the years, from small, portable video production systems in a travel rack case, to satellite uplink systems built for airline cargo spaces. At our October meeting, TV Pro Gear will update us on current trends in production flypacks. With better large scale integration, users can pile more stuff into small spaces, and Andy Maisner will show us just what the current capabilities and limits are, in both a remote vehicle and Flypak™.
KPRI (FM) 102.1, city of license Encinitas, filed this week to transfer its license to the Educational Media Foundation, Rocklin, CA. The station at 3:30pm Monday suddenly changed to the EMF satellite-delivered Christian music “K-Love” format and sent home all of its approximately 20 employees. KPRI will be operated by EMF on a Limited Marketing Agreement until the FCC approves the transfer. Continue reading KPRI Sells to EMF→
