KVHS will go dark two weeks from now. Nothing will stop that from happening. American Tower, understandably, isn't interested in reduced terms or rates. No one is interested in paying for their expensive lease.
The interested entity I've spoken about is Contra Costa County Office of Education. They're interested in acquiring the license and returning the station to its educational roots, but if and only if they can get the antenna moved to a new site. Hopefully, they're able to convince their own County people to get it up on the County-owned emergency dispatch tower at Kreiger Peak. KVHS ran some initial feasibility assessments on a number of local towers and Kreiger is optimal. Another viable site is a privately owned tower at the headquarters of Concord Police Officers' Association, on the opposite side of Hwy 4 from the current site. If they can secure either one of these locations, there will likely be some kind of future for KVHS.
