  • MULTIPLE OWNRSHIP SHOWING Independence Rock Media, LLC
    INDEPENDENCE ROCK MEDIA, LLC KEGE(FM)/KHEX(FM) ASSIGNMENT OF LICENSE APPLICATION DECEMBER, 2020 MULTIPLE OWNRSHIP SHOWING Independence Rock Media, LLC (IRM) has reached agreements with the widow of the late broadcaster Tom F. Huth to acquire a total of nine primary broadcast stations that operate in four separate markets: Red Bluff-Gerber, California (Tehama County): 1. KBLF(AM), Red Bluff, California, FIN 48853 2. KRAC(AM), Red Bluff, California, FIN 54978 3. KTOR(FM), Gerber, California, FIN 82891 Susanville, California (Lassen County): 1. KAJK(FM), Susanville, California, FIN 162465 2.

KEGE(FM), Hamilton City, California, FIN 164155 Willows, California (Glenn County): 1. KIQS(AM), Willows, California, FIN 34941 There is attached as Figure A a map of northern California prepared by engineering consultant Kevin Youngers of Greeley, Colorado which shows the city- Page 1 of 4 grade contours of these nine stations, that shows the four separate market areas. Tehama, Lassen and Glenn Counties are outside Nielsen rated “radio metro markets”. Butte County is in the Nielsen-defined Chico, California radio metro market. The Hamilton City-Concow market appears to implicate both methods of determining a radio market under FCC rules and policies. Neither KEGE nor KHEX appears to have a city-grade contour which includes the city of Chico, and KHEX is licensed to Hamilton City, which is in Glenn County, which is believed not to be in any Nielsen-radio market.

  • Farm Flashes." Salisbury Had Hardly Settled Into His New Job Before His First Challenge Was Thrown at Him: a Campaign to Stop the Corn Borer in the Eastern Corn Belt
    _ FARM BROADCASTING The First Sixty Years JOHN C. BAKER The Iowa State University Press, Ames 070, ti5191,3 1940 JOHN C. BAKER has worked with or known most of the who have worked in farm broadcasting 406 men and women since the twenties. He was born in Indiana in the year that Admiral Peary reached the North Pole (1909), grew up in apple orchard, and received an undergraduate degree in agriculture from Purdue University in 1930. He made his first broadcast to farmers over the Purdue radio station, WBAA, when he was assistant extension editor, 1930-1931, and continued for four years as radio az extension editor in Massachusetts. Then followed two periods each on WLS, Chicago, and in the radio service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where he took part . in the "National Farm and Home Hour" on NBC and "The American Farmer" on ABC. In the fifties and sixties he was an information officer in the U.S. Department of 1980 Agriculture and the Bureau of the Census. He has been a member of the farm broadcasters' organization, under its several names, since its first na- tional convention in 1945.
