Wendover, Nevada gets a station

June 29, 2006
KVUW in Wendover, NV is now Variety Hits as 107.3 SAM FM. From what I've been able to figure out, the station at the moment is on a tiny Class A stick that gives it coverage only in the Wendover area. But according to Radio-Locator.com, it has a construction permit to move to a 1,970' tall spot on a tower many miles away and an upgrade to Class C status, which would allow it to blanket the mostly rural northeast part of Nevada with its signal. 100000watts.com has information in the station section that indicates that it went on the air with the format on May 17, 2005, but that's not possible as the SAM satellite signal didn't debut until June 2005. Until I can find out more, I'm going to treat it as a new sign-on.
