Omaha’s “Boomer” Adds Second AM Signal

Posted on March 31, 2019 by Jon Ellis

Walnut Radio’s “Boomer Radio” Oldies format in Omaha has added a fifth signal: KOTK/1420 (Omaha), which has dropped Conservative Talk.

“Boomer” is also heard on KOBM/1490 (Omaha), two FM translators, and a full-power FM signal just north of the metro. Following the change, KOBM changed its callsign to KIBM and the KOBM callsign was moved to 1420.

KIBM and KOBM have essentially the same coverage areas, but the simulcast could potentially allow Walnut to provide some separate programming on Boomer’s two FM translators (K233CO/94.5 and K281CJ/104.1) by designating each as a translator of the separate AM signals. (K233CO had relayed KOTK’s previous Conservative Talk format until it switched to “Boomer” in November.)

KOTK’s previous lineup, known as “The Answer,” had included Hugh Hewitt, Mike Gallagher, Dennis Prager, and Michael Medved.
