Looks like I haven't been here in a while, but I feel it's worth the corrections since I work there. Okay, first--KOTB is at 106.1, NOT 106.3 and hasn't been at 106.3 since oh about 1993 or so. Second, we haven't run ABC Radio music formats since probably 1998. We've been affiliated with Jones Radio Networks since then. From there on til 2000, KEVA 1240 was running Jones' Soft AC network, and KOTB 106.1 was running Jones' U.S. Country format. Then we made the big switch and moved the U.S. Country over to KEVA, and created "B106" and ran Jones' Hot AC network on it. Then in 2001, Millcreek purchased KOTB from us, while at the same time KNYN 99.1 (licensed to Fort Bridger, Wyoming) hit the air and we (to this day) began an LMA with Kent Frandsen in Logan for 99.1. At that point we began to simulcast KEVA 1240 on 106.1 temporarily (until Millcreek gets their power boosters up and main transmitter up in the Uintas). Millcreek is planning on doing another KWKD thing with KOTB, but as of yet they still haven't done anything with it and therefore 106.1 is still simulcasting KEVA. In 2001 also, the format on KEVA was swapped from Jones Radio's U.S. Country over to Jones Radio's Classic Hit Country network (same network as KBNZ in Tremonton). Meanwhile KNYN 99.1 (Magic 99) began running 2 Jones Networks. The Soft AC network from 6am-5pm, and then the Hot AC network from 5pm-6am. This is how it still stands today. KNYN 99.1 - Jones soft AC 6am-5pm, Jones Hot AC 5pm-6am. KEVA 1240 Jones Classic Hit Country 24/7, simulcast on KOTB 106.1. So what you were hearing when you drove up here was Jones Classic Hit Country, NOT ABC's Country Coast to Coast. Also a historical note, in August of 2002 I installed a Motorola C-quam AM Stereo exciter and CRL AM Stereo processing to convert KEVA to AM Stereo. We're now "Keva Country AM Stereo 1240". 106.1 is mono. It was only supposed to be temporary til Millcreek decided what they're going to do. As of yet, they've done nothing and from what I hear it's still going to be a while because they still haven't moved Vernal's KLCY 105.9 from 105.9 to 105.5 which is a condition of them putting the new 106.1 (at 100,000 watts from the Uintas) on the air. I had one person bash me about the audio on 106.1 because it is only 10 khz wide. True. It is. This was supposed to be a temporary thing. And we don't have any extra FM processors lying around to do processing and generate a stereo pilot. So the feed comes right off of the "mono out" from one of KEVA's CRL processors, and into an STL. I had to do it this way so we had SOME kind of processing. Otherwise we'd overmodulate the STL. And if you're wondering, YES, the signal for KOTB 106.1 is still coming from our old 280 watt transmitter up on Medicine Butte here in Evanston. I have heard it all over in spots in Utah.....including 10-20 miles west of Lehi where I was last week. I've also heard folks tell me they can hear 106.1 way out on the west side of the valley (around 40th to 50th and so on WEST). Not bad for 280 watts, huh?

Thanks for reading this "book"
Book signings available later :)
