A set of massive changes that could reshape radio across Idaho are moving closer to reality. This week, the FCC accepted for filing several proposals that will move several stations from their current dial positions.
- KQEO from 107.1 to 107.9, moving to a new tower with coverage in both Poky & IF (filing)
- KAOX from Kemmerer, WY to Shelley, ID at 107.1. This station would colocate on the KQEO tower. (filing)
- KZDX from 99.9 to 93.5 The Buzz would increase power from 27kw to 63kw and get a directional antenna aimed at TF/Jerome. (filing)
As previously reported, KBYI is moving from 100.5 to 94.3 with Sand Hill Media taking the 100.5 dial position.

I think KZDX is presently at 99.9? I also thought we heard on a previous thread that KQEO (Arrow 107) was going to stay at 107.1 which would mean a “flip” for Sand Hill and whoever owns KAOX.

Yes. It is at 99.9. Too much typing.

KAOX is owned by Sand Hill’s big SLC friend… Simmons Media. They’ve been sitting on those western Wyoming signals for a few years now. (another automated station not serving Evanston/Kemmermer very well)

Oldtimer is right ..I’m told that KQEO will flip with KAOX and stay on 107.1, KQEO will change city of license but not frequency.
