KFRM
KFRM (550 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Salina, Kansas, United States. It is owned by Taylor Communications, Inc. KFRM has studios and offices in Clay Center. On weekdays, KFRM carries mostly news and agricultural information shows for farming communities. Nights and weekends it plays classic country music. Due to its low position on the dial, KFRM enjoys a wide coverage area during the day. The transmitter is off U.S. Route 81 (140th Road) in Concordia. KFRM is powered at 5,000 watts by day, using a directional antenna aimed toward the southwest. It puts a high quality signal over most of Central Kansas, including Wichita. A fair signal is delivered to Oklahoma City. However, it is hard to hear in Kansas City. To avoid interfering with other stations on AM 550, KFRM drops its power to 110 watts at night, when radio waves travel further. After sunset, the station's signal is restricted to communities in and around Salina. History KFRM was founded by Arthu ...

In the early 1800s, the Kanza tribal land reached eastward from the middle of the Kansas Territory.

Saline County was soon organized around this township, and in 1870, Salina incorporated as a city.

It boomed again from the 1940s-1950s when the Smoky Hill Army Airfield was built for World War II strategic bombers. It is now a micropolis and regional trade center for North Central Kansas.

Sign-on
A sign-on (or start-up in Commonwealth countries except Canada) is the beginning of operations for a radio or television station, generally at the start of each day. It is the opposite of a sign-off (or closedown in Commonwealth countries except Canada), which is the sequence of operations involved when a radio or television station shuts down its transmitters and goes off the air for a predetermined period; generally, this occurs during the overnight hours although a broadcaster's digital specialty or sub-channels may sign-on and sign-off at significantly different times than its main channels. Like other television programming, sign-on and sign-off sequences can be initiated by a broadcast automation system, and automatic transmission systems can turn the carrier signal and transmitter on/off by remote control. Sign-on and sign-off sequences have become less common due to the increasing prevalence of 24/7 broadcasting. However, some national broadcasters continue the pra ...

Daytimer
A clear-channel station is a North American AM radio station that has the highest level of protection from interference from other stations, particularly from nighttime skywave signals. This classification exists to ensure the viability of cross-country or cross-continent radio service enforced through a series of treaties and statutory laws. Known as Class A stations since the 1983 adoption of the Regional Agreement for the Medium Frequency Broadcasting Service in Region 2 (Rio Agreement), they are occasionally still referred to by their former classifications of Class I-A (the highest classification), Class I-B (the next highest class), or Class I-N (for stations in Alaska too far away to cause interference to the primary clear-channel stations in the lower 48 states). The term "clear-channel" is used most often in the context of North America and the Caribbean, where the concept originated. Since 1941, these stations have been required to maintain a transmitter power output ...

Construction Permit
Planning permission or building permit refers to the approval needed for construction or expansion (including significant renovation), and sometimes for demolition, in some jurisdictions. House building permits, for example, are subject to building codes. There is also a "plan check" (PLCK) to check compliance with plans for the area, if any. For example, one cannot obtain permission to build a nightclub in an area where it is inappropriate such as a high-density suburb. The criteria for planning permission are a part of urban planning and construction law, and are usually managed by town planners employed by local governments. Failure to obtain a permit can result in fines, penalties, and demolition of unauthorized construction if it cannot be made to meet code. Generally, the new construction must be inspected during construction and after completion to ensure compliance with national, regional, and local building codes. Since building permits usually precede outlay ...
