Audacy is combining the programming on its two Conservative Talk stations in Las Vegas as it prepares to shut down 840 KXNT North Las Vegas on Tuesday, September 1.
KXNT’s programing will be combined with sister “101.5 K-Dawn” K268CS Las Vegas/94.1 KMXB-HD3 due to what the station says is “driven strictly by the fact KXNT’s transmitter site is no longer available”. The station will be the third AM shut down by Audacy Las Vegas in recent years. In 2023, Audacy swapped 107.5 KXTE to Beasley Media Group for 720 KDWN and K268CS and then shut down it and co-located 1140 KXST in order to sell the land to a warehouse developer for $40 million.
Upon the consolidation of programming on September 1, KXNT hour long morning show hosted by Alan Stock will move over to KDWN as will the syndicated Erick Erickson Show. “K-Dawn” will continue to carry syndicated shows hosted by Brian Kilmeade, Sean Hannity, and Jimmy Failla.
KXNT rose from a 1.6 to 2.3 share in the June 2026 Nielsen Audio ratings, while KMXB-HD3 dropped from a 1.0 to 0.8 share. Neither station was listed as being included in the group of Audacy News/Talk stations set to be added to SiriusXM’s lineup on September 1.

Cumulus Media has shut off “920 The Sports Animal” KARN Little Rock AR.
In an STA filing with the FCC, Cumulus notes that they requested silent authority as discussions about whether to change the format of KARN or sell the station transpire.
KARN’s lineup featured Cumulus’ Westwood One Sports Network programming around the clock with the exception of Fox Sports Radio’s Dan Patrick Show from 8am to 11am. The station was one of three Sports stations in the market along with Signal Broadcasting’s combo of “103.7 The Buzz” KABZ and “106.7 The Buzz 2” KBZU.

909 kHz Radio Five Live Redruth closing.
The BBC Five Live relay at Redruth is airing closure announcements at twenty and fifty minutes past each hour.
Still a strong carrier but the Five Live audio is very weak, so likely Redruth is no longer carrying network, just the retune announcement. (audio continues at same low level during the retune announcement).
The announcement starts with “You’re listening to BBC Radio Five Live on nine o nine mediumwave covering Cornwall. At the end of July BBC Radio Five Live will stop broadcasting on this frequency. You may be able to continue to listen by retuning to six nine three mediumwave.”

Saga Communications has surrendered the license for 970 WZAN Portland ME. Its Classic Country “101.5 The Outlaw” programming continues on W268CS Portland fed by 100.9 WYNZ-HD3.

The FCC cancelled the license of Royal Gorge Broadcasting’s 1400 KRLN Canon City CO. KRLN went silent at the end of 2024 with the owner’s retirement. Their sister FM was subsequently sold to and relaunched by their former station manager.

990 6RPH Perth ceased transmission a number of days ago now.
There is only static there and no transmitter carrier or anything.
Gone but not forgotten.
