KTAR-AM and FM sister station, 98.7 The Peak (KPKX) has made the successful move to their palatial new building at 16th St. and Northern Ave. Now it was time to complete the move move this weekend, with KTAR following suit.
All throughout Friday, December 11, KTAR hosts mentioned it being the last day they would be broadcasting from their Central Avenue location of 13 years, and the move was happening– as they spoke. The shows still went on, just about unhitched, despite much behind-the-scenes packing and preparation going on.
Joe Crummey’s show, though hosted from Los Angeles, is fed back into the Central Ave. studio making it officially the last live, locally-oriented radio show to broadcast from the old building. The night was complete with occasional technical errors with soundbytes, audio processing, and once, a “testing” from a studio mic.
