Houston Area LPFM Applications

[Mediafrog+]

Was curious about who had applied for LPFM's in the Houston area, so I went to the FCC website and edited down the info.

Lots of applications from the expected religious broadcasters, but there are quite a few that are from community associations, city governments, and even Rice University (the return of KTRU?)

Below is the list, separated by frequency. I included power, but left out antenna height. Community of license also included. Keep in mind we could have more than one LPFM on any given frequency if the transmitters are sufficiently separated.

As if there ain't already enough religious broadcasters!

BTW ignore the 95.3 listing for Red Oak, not in our area; inadvertently left it in.

And Spanish language - UGH! Spanish Christian - double UGH! If there was any market in Houston over saturated, it would be those.

I take it with all of the 94.9's coming in town KHTZ is not valid any more?

 

[johndavis]

It never was a viable move-in.

I suspect the FCC will "encourage" competing applicants for a given frequency to combine their applications into one entity, as has been the case for decades.

94.1 seems to be the only frequency without competing applicants or first adjacent concerns...might be the first to be granted if there are no deficiencies with the Hilshire Village application.

The 94.9 LPFM's in Houston will have no effect on the new KHTZ facility, other than to block reception of its fringe signal here.

When tropo kicks up KHTZ will give major grief to the Houston 94.9(s).

This will probably mess with my FM transmitter in my car, which I've been running at 101.5 for some time now.

Found another node of KLTY - east parking lot of a Walgreens at Barker Cypress and Spring Cypress. Not as strong as some other nodes in the area ----

Not that KLTY is that great of a station anyway. One can only hope something of interest comes on the air with all these translators and move-ins. But based on the list - wasted electricity and more dead spots on the FM band.

 

[purpledevil]

The constant top 5 ratings for the "not that great anyway" KLTY would suggest otherwise.

Only real clear freq (provided no pirate is there) is 87.9 or 87.7 (there is a Franken FM in Lafayette, LA on that but it will go away with all LPs and Class A TVs have to go digital)..
