720 KDWN Las Vegas Going Dark

720 KDWN Las Vegas will go dark at the end of February. KDWN's 50 kilowatt signal was a pre-internet flame thrower throughout most of Western North America. One of its' most popular shows was "Stardust Line" from Stardust Casino's sports book. Although intended for gamblers, it had plenty of inside sports information for fans too. During boxing's heyday, they provided first-on-the-scene coverage after every historic Vegas championship title fight. Stardust Casino closed in 2006. KDWN also carried Las Vegas Running Rebel basketball during Jerry Tarkanian era. Several years ago, as civilization encroached on KDWN's transmitter site, power was reduced from 50kw to 25kw daytime; 7.5kw nighttime. KDWN content will continue on a local FM HD sub-carrier. Wonder if west coast AM dxers will now be able to hear Chicago's WGN? ... 73s para Sactown
