At the end of 2014, Buckley Radio turned off “ESPN 630” KIDD Monterey, CA with the station’s towers subsequently knocked down.
KIDD will receive a new lease on life as Buckley has sold the license for the station to Mount Wilson FM Broadcasters for $50,000 completing the exit of Buckley from station ownership. Mount Wilson will be need to file for a new transmission facility for KIDD before bringing it back on-air, which both groups will work together to get an STA filed within the next thirty days.
The $50,000 purchase price includes a two year non-compete against the Buckley principles. KIDD will join a Mount Wilson cluster that includes Classical “K-Mozart” 95.1 K236BK/95.9 KMZT-FM, “Z Country 97.9/106.7” KYZZ/K294CA, Classic Hits “Q103.9 The Hits” KBOQ, and Standards “Unforgettable 1240” KNRY.
