Topper said KGOW will use its 50,000-watt tower alignment for daytime and has obtained approval to use a 100-watt signal that will cover a portion of southwest Houston. That night signal will be in use for six months as the station awaits developments on its plans to build a 1,000-watt tower and on its FCC application for a 19,000-watt nighttime signal, Topper said.
Until the signal improves, Topper said KGOW will be promoting its Web site, 1560thegame.com, for evening use in areas where the over-the-air signal is unreachable after dark. As for opening-week programming, rumor has it that Richard Justice has lined up baseball commissioner Bud Selig for his first show Monday. Asked about his plans, Ken Hoffman said he will be joined by his Uncle Sol, which, knowing Hoffman, may or may not have been a serious response to the question. We also will have some thoughts over the weekend from the station's afternoon hosts, Sean Pendergast and John Harris, on the Four DVRs, No Waiting Web blog at chron.com.
