Old KSTB frequency going up for auction

johndavis said:
With the exception of the 107.9 in Sacramento, there are very few commercially viable signals on that list.

Some of the ones in the west might be useful to tribal nations, but I have about as much interest in bidding $1500 to cover a bunch of vacation homes in Crystal Beach as I do in bidding $25,000 to cover the Flying J truck stop on the Arizona-California border.

A cash-rich religious broadcaster which wants to keep the donations rolling in, perhaps?

It doesn't matter if none of the people who donate ever hear the signal on air. It doesn't matter if no one at all other than the engineer who puts the stick and sat dish up hears the signal on air - the station can promote the fact that they're spending listener donations spreading the word into more and more places, and it makes people feel like they've made a difference.

It's still a business. They're not going to buy a station that isn't going to make more money for them.

That is a strange website.
Someone please explain this little example of gibberish:

The whole site is full of things like that, along with pop-outs that move so fast you can't read them.
 
La Tremenda from Wichita Falls was on air in Houston temporarily on one of Centros Translators. I don’t remember which one though .

I mean FM station not FM translator.

A translator is a station. A booster is a station. A repeater is a station. Anything with its own transmitter and frequency is a "station". There are kinds of stations, however. A "translator" is a kind of station which is dependent on an originating station and whose license is linked to it.

100,000 Watts from there would be decent for a good part going down I-10 from Houston to Beaumont though.

It will never be 100 kw. There was a reason for cumulus downgrading the station to 6kw and surrendering the license. It cannot move and it cannot increase power. If it resumes operation from where it's towerScreenshots_2021-08-07-08-55-57.png will have to be rebuilt it will have a very small coverage area.

It could cover Galveston and Clear Lake like it did previously.
