It does not appear that K291CE Rosenberg is abandoning its application to move to the Senior Road tower farm. That app still shows up as accepted for filing.
From today’s application:
Looks like they’re minding their P’s & Q’s to fix the coordinates for what is currently on the air.
Interestingly, today’s app says the station is to rebroadcast KQVI, a non-comm in Cedar Lake, TX. It is unclear what AM or FM station the current programming on K291CE is being carried on, which is a mix of soft AC, high school sports, and sponsor messages.
