Copper Theft and Transmitter Damage Silence KFTI, by Lance Venta,
January 27 2026

Summit Media’s “Classic Country 1070” KFTI Wichita KS has been off the
air since January 16 following significant damage to its transmission
facilities. A filing with the FCC states that KFTI’s tower array was
damaged because of theft of copper components, compromising the ground
system and related infrastructure, while its transmitter experienced
substantial equipment failures and requires extensive repairs and
replacement of multiple components before operation can be restored.

KFTI, which utilizes Westwood One’s 24/7 Country programming,
continues to stream online. The station registered a 0.9 share in the
November 2025 Nielsen Audio ratings.

INSTANT INSIGHT: Nowhere on the station’s website does KFTI explain to
listeners that it is off the air. It also has no social media platform
where to inform listeners of how to find them as once again radio
attempts to just push its audience away`` Yet to check in daytime for
any other signal or KFTI resumed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Just to clear things out:
It's Wlodzimierz Czarzasty, current Speaker of Polish Parliament (Sejm). 
He was a member of communist party (PZPR) from 1983 to the end of it's 
existence, 1990.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%C5%82odzimierz_Czarzasty
Hardly a moral authority. Member of far left party which currently is an 
ally of rulling liberals, so he has a good press in official, goverment 
mouthpiece like PRES.

``ENGINEERING STATEMENT:

This Engineering Statement has been prepared to support an application
for modification and extension of Special Temporary Authority 0000269423,
for Radio Station KKOB, 770 kHz, Albuquerque, NM, licensed to Radio
License Holding CBC, LLC, which expires on October 15, 2025.

Because of the imminent dismantling of the remaining antenna tower at
the licensed site of KKOB, Special Temporary Authority is requested to
operate from a temporary site located at NL 35 04 04.5 by WL 106 46 46.8.
This antenna tower is 196 feet tall (above ground) and because of its
height is not registered in the Commission’s Antenna Structure
Registration System.

Operation is proposed with 1.0 kW day and night. The antenna tower will
be fed with a single flared skirt wire. The Inverse Distance Field has
been approximately determined by NEC4 calculation to be 197.75 mV/m/km
for 1 kW operation. The antenna will also be provided with 6 to 8 “ground”
radials extending to at least 100 feet from the tower base.

The tower supports the FM transmitting antenna of KABQ-FM and the
auxiliary antennas of KABQ-FM, KYLZ-FM, and KBQI-FM. A nearby antenna
tower is the location of the main antenna for KYLZ-FM. There are no
nearby licensed AM broadcast facilities. The tower base is enclosed by a
fence which is 4 meters or more from the structure, exceeding the
requirement of Supplement A to OET-65. If necessary measurements will be
made at the time of installation to determine the ground level E and H
fields of the FM facilities outside the fenced area.
