KISN 91
leaves the air a second time. On February 1, 2007 shortly after midnight,
KKSN 910 changed formats from oldies to "Talk Radio Oregon." The
last hour of oldies programming was exclusively composed of goodbye songs. The
last two songs played were the same as the last two played when KISN signed off
in 1976: "She's Gone" by Hall & Oates and "Someday We'll Be
Together" by the Supremes. At the very end, a recording of Dave Stone's
1976 signoff plays, followed by some dead air and the new format. This
recording has been telescoped down to about 23:25.
KTRO-FM Flips to Spanish. On
March 28, 2007, around 11:10 AM, KTRO changed formats from talk "Talk Radio
Oregon 93.1" to Regional Mexican "El Rey." Note: The transition
to Spanish was not smooth. On this aircheck, you will hear a miscue and a lot
of dead air.

KISN Returns as an online Oldies station and
virtual museum.

KLYC Leaves the Air. After serving the
McMinnville community for almost 23 years, 1260 KLYC signed off due to
financial hardship and the inability of owner Bohnsack Strategies, Inc. to
successfully negotiate a sale of the radio station. The signoff occurred March
22nd at 1:00 PM, a time meant to symbolize the station's broadcast frequency
(i.e. 12:60 PM or 1260 kHz).
2015
KISN returns again, this time as an LPFM
station on 95.1 MHz, broadcasting from Mt. Scott with an effective radiated power
of 2 Watts. This aircheck was recorded from my home, which is about 19 miles from
the transmitter site, using a 10 element log-Yagi antenna. Reception is extremely
good, considering the low power of this station. Here is an alternate
mono recording of the
tick-tock sound effect heard at the beginning of the broadcast. Note how much less
background noise there is when the station is received in mono.
