Houston LPFM goes Harvey Coverage

B

b-turner

KCYB 103.5 in the Houston suburb of Cypress, a Low Power FM station, has carried KHOU TV audio during the Hurricane Harvey event. They are posting local information on their Facebook page. I must applaud the station. As you know LPFM stations have volunteers and ultra limited resources. For KCYB to seek and obtain permission to run KHOU audio in areas where are without power is, in my book, exactly what a dedicated broadcaster should do. I'm sure they'd love to be live and local 24/7 with with only a volunteer or two and limited resources, you do the best you can.

Are any other LPFMs doing coverage?

Iheart KTRH 750am has been rebroadcasting out of the following translators 24/7 K287BQ 105.3fm, K223CL 92.5fm, K231CN 94.1fm and K283CH. This are all the station that belongs to
Centro in Houston.

Centro got permission from IHeart? Interesting if Guel is IHeart's friend now.
 
I'm sure they did. They likely figured the conditions warranted calling KTRH to see if they could simulcast. I think it was a better choice than some satellite feed from somewhere.

Apparently some of you aren't aware that every one of these translators originate programming on i♥'s HD subchannels. The studios for these subchannels -- except perhaps 105.3 -- are in their building right down the hall from Sunny and the Buzz. If i♥ wanted to preempt regular programming on the HD channels due to a disaster, I'm sure they could easily do it.
