■■he old 3,000 watt 104.9 KKYS is
■ more since being replaced by a
lev 104.7 KKYS with both in-
xeased power and increased cover-
ige due to a new transmitter in-
italled today at the local radio
itation.
||kt exactly 11:11 a.m. today,
!<KYS switched over to the stronger
ransmitter, increasing its power
T«n 3,000 to 50,000 watts and its
:overage area from 35 to approxi-
nately 70 miles, KKYS Program Di
rector Chuck Reden said.
Hleden said that along with the
broader coverage area, the increased
power gives the station better access
to secondary audiences.
To promote the station’s in
creased power, Reden said he stayed
on the air for 30 straight hours until
today’s official 11:11 a.m. sign over
time.
KKYS also awarded 50 new' al
bums and tapes to the person who
came closest to guessing when the
power increase would occur, Reden
said.
Reden said both College Station
Mayor Larry Ringer and Bryan
Mayor Marvin Tate were present at
today’s signing over.
