An auspicious beginning

On Jan. 16th, 1991, network television shows were pre-empted because of the start of the Persian Gulf War. One of the shows that wouldn't air that night was the pilot episode of a little NBC sitcom entitled "Seinfeld." Now the radio version of "Seinfeld," "The Baseball Show on KXnO" has endured the same opening day fate.
An early finish on the Iowa Cubs baseball game forced KXnO programming to switch to Masters Golf coverage. A resiliant Tom DeMarco then sunk a putt on the 18th to force a sudden death playoff with Tiger Woods. The playoff round wiped out the last 25 to 30 minutes of the show.
The show is still a go for next week, but for now, I feel like the pope at a Scottish soccer game.

Sorry you didn't get to have a show this week. How many watts is the KXNO signal? Any chance of bumping it up to 50,000 watts during your broadcast so it carries east of the Mississippi? TA

Right now I'd be satisfied to reach Des Moines.
East of the Mississippi, you might have to wait for syndication.
