You probably know this but 92.5 is actually licensed to be a translator of 1490 AM, which 92.7 simulcasts. I'm surprised the FCC let this fly, but I suppose it's okay since Hall is just interfering with themselves.

Alt Gone in Harrisburg
- Thread starter atthestars
- Start date
the format used by wrto fm miami is a fresh crisp format was what i was referring to.
That is not a syndicated format, and it is dead last out of the Miami Spanish language FMs.
The Harrisburg MSA is 9% black.
Nielsen does not do ratings for individual cities; it rates markets which are county based. Harrisburg is a four country metro of Cumberland, Dauphin, Lebanon and Perry counties.
It is also almost 8% Hispanic.
But besides targeting the main city of the MSA, why else would iHeartMedia implement the urban contemporary format on WHKF?
With WHKF being a class A station, its signal is marginal in parts of Perry, Lebanon, Cumberland, and even northern Dauphin County. It's no surprise that WHKF is targeting Harrisburg and it's immediate surroundings, where the signal is strong. Additionally, its "local" 60 dBu countour almost reaches York, which is about 25% African American.
Not to sound like David Eduardo, the key word is "almost". Depending on the terrain and interference, the station might have a very good signal in York, or almost no signal at all.Additionally, its "local" 60 dBu countour almost reaches York, which is about 25% African American.
However, the York Nielsen market is only 6.1% Black; As I said before, Nielsen does not measure cities... it measures metro areas. In this case, all of Adams and York counties.With WHKF being a class A station, its signal is marginal in parts of Perry, Lebanon, Cumberland, and even northern Dauphin County. It's no surprise that WHKF is targeting Harrisburg and it's immediate surroundings, where the signal is strong.

I wish someone would bring back WTPA. They had a nice mainstream mix of new and old going there before being dumped by Pat Garrett. Get some familiar faces from the past like Amy Warner in there and mix them up with some fresh blood that actually cares about radio like the old days. Seemed like The X had a number of them that came through before People's Morning Show lost Earl. Heck, if they even wanted to syndicate a morning show they could "bring back" Todd Brandt and Mike Tyler and have the Todd N Tyler Radio Empire in Central PA.
