Transmitter Changes for U92?

According to a tip-off to Utah Radio Guide, Marathon Media has big plans to expand the signal strenghth of it's CHR/Rythmic "U92." The station currently broacasts at 92.3 in Payson, and 92.1 in Tooele. The plan would be to move the Tooele transmitter to 92.3 and increase the signal strength. To allow them to do this, Marathon Media will pay Lee Family Broadcasting in Rupert, ID a six-figure amount to move it's KKMV from 92.5 to 102.9 and their KMVX from 102.9 to 92.7. This would create an interference free zone for a power increase, that would be noticeable throughout the valley. Also, it would create quite a media push (probably with billboards) letting listeners know that the station has moved to 92.3. Personally, I think the station will change names and become U92-3.
