KDWN 720 and KXST 1140 sign off March 2 2023

KDWN 720 and KXST 1140 in Las Vegas have officially gone silent on March 2, 2023. There was the national anthem, the Nevada state song, a picture of the transmitter sites using slow scan TV, and morse code.

Audacy sold the land upon which the towers are located for $40 million!
Beasley used to own KDWN. They initially sold the land where the original towers once stood, then diplexed KDWN on the KXST site.

Audacy swapped KXTE 107.5 for Beasley's KDWN 720 and K268CS 101.5 with no money changing hands. The reason for the swap was to get Audacy out of the lease with Beasley for KDWN. This enabled Audacy to sell the land to Amazon for $40 million. The towers will eventually come down, and Amazon will build a warehouse.
