Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> reader, Mike Nikolich (N9OVQ), who writes:<\/p>\n

Hi, Tom:<\/em><\/p>\n

Uncle Eric mentioned [this past weekend]\u00a0on The Mighty KBC (6040 kHz) around 0145 UTC that they will be leaving the airwaves if they cannot attract enough advertising revenue. <\/em><\/p>\n

I would really miss this radio station if it left the air.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

[…]I\u2019m sure Kenwood, ICOM, Ham Radio Outlet and C Crain have enough discretionary funds to advertise on this station and I can\u2019t imagine a more targeted ad buy for shortwave listeners than The Mighty KBC.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks for the message, Mike! Yes, I would also miss The Mighty KBC if they left the air–their music program, “The Giant Jukebox” is one of my favorites.<\/p>\n

If you have any sponsorship leads or ideas, please contact The Mighty KBC via their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
