94.9 - Zumix / Spanish?

W

Wimmmex

I usually can pick up Zumix Radio a LPFM out of E. Boston when I am coming down 93 and by the Assembly Square area. https://www.zumix.org/radio

Tonight I was picking up some Spanish music on 94.9.

Did someone else get added to this 94.9 in the area?
 
I don't know when the WAMG translator hit the air but radio-locator says it got its license in May.The maps on radio-locator seem to imply many areas where both stations supposedly reach. Radio-locator's listings for Boston show a lot of FM translators and LPFMs. 3 LPFMs on 102.9 all relatively close.

It was on the air from Ashland for a couple of years before it started hopping east. NERW, 4/8/2019:

*Even though the FCC said it intended to take a hard, slow look at FM translators seeking to make multiple hops to new locations, it’s moving with lightning speed on Gois Broadcasting’s relocation of W235CS (94.9 Dedham). That translator moved from the tower of parent WAMG (890) eastward to the WHDH-TV (Channel 7) tower in Newton in early March and promptly filed for another eastward hop, moving to the Industrial Communications tower in Quincy. That application was filed March 14 and the FCC granted it on April 2 – and we think the new 40-watt/150m facility in Quincy will be the final destination for the 94.9 translator, which will cover Dedham, Quincy, Milton and big chunks of Roxbury, Hyde Park and Mattapan.

Zumix has a wide variety of programming including international shows, including Spanish. The program you heard was probably on Zumix itself.

Their website schedule only lists program titles without detailed descriptions, but I see a few possibilities that may include Spanish music.

I'm sure you weren't picking up the WAMG, Dedham translator (transmits from Quincy) over Zumix in the Assembly Square area. I live in Somerville and get Zumix loud and clear.

The only other possibility would be a Spanish pirate coming on 94.9, but unlikely they would do that and step on Zumix.

By the way, I'm noticing a new (or relocated) strong Caribbean pirate (broadcasting on only the left stereo channel) on 99.9 in that area, cutting out the fringe of Brandeis U. college station 100.1 WBRS, Waltham with first-adjacent bleedover.

Mega has a 250 watt translator on 93.7 in Providence RI (parent station WSTL 1220 AM), that's probably what you were hearing in Foxboro.

WSTL in Providence has 2 translators. The 93.7 is mounted almost at ground level and covers very poorly, it does have a 250w CP, but don’t think that’s on yet. The one that gets out quite well is also on 94.9, from the 94.1/95.5 tower.
