FM Frequency of the Week: 95.7

Status
Not open for further replies.
Manchester area, UK: nothing, but there is splatter from BBC Radio Merseyside, the BBC's local full service for Liverpool 30-ish miles away, on 95.8.

Where I previously lived, 95.7 was (no snickering at the back) Penistone FM, a community LPFM for a small town of the same name. Despite a power of just 30 watts, a high site surrounded by flat land and a clear channel meant it could be received on a decent car radio with RDS as far as 70 miles to the north and east, with hills to the west and south preventing it getting more than a couple of miles.
 
Hartland, VT

WZID, an AC powerhouse from Manchester, NH, the strongest Manchester signal to make it into the Upper Valley.

Meriden, CT

WKSS, Hartford-Meriden. The call and the "Kiss" branding were originally used for a Beautiful Music format, but Kiss 95.7 has been CHR since 1984.
 
Tyler, TX:

K239CB Tyler, translator for KYZS 1490 AM Tyler, a classic hits station with the heritage "K-DOK" branding that has been here since Lucille Buford launched it on AM 1330 back in the 50's. Solid signal here in the sticks between Tyler and Lindale.
 
East Tennessee: Local rimshot WDKW "95.7 Duke FM", Maryville TN. Were Duke ever off the air, WAYB, Graysville KY could make it in.

I worked for a 95.7 in Piqua, Ohio, rimshotting Dayton from the north with that translator and from the southeast with WZLR, Xenia, OH on 95.3. 95.7, with tower in Southern Shelby County, would sometimes take interference from WQMF, Jeffersonville, IN (Louisville KY)
 
Wilmington Delaware

Local WBEN Philadelphia with a good HD signal. It is one of those 'play anything we like' stations. The call letters were picked for Ben Franklin since it is a Philly station. On strong TROPO occasions WVKL from Norfolk VA makes an appearance.
 
Around Columbus, Ohio, it's WHIO if anything. That 50,000-watt signal easily hits the western part of the metro, and the interference from a semi-local on 95.5 and low-powered 95.9 on the west side is minimal.
I can remember that 95.7 back to its Clear 95 days as a soft AC. It was played over the local access channel on my grandparents' cable system in St. Marys, and that remained the case after the switch to oldies as "Kool 95." Kool 95 also played over the speakers regularly at Mad River Mountain when I'd ski up there.

I know we had listeners in Bellefontaine and Indian Lake. I think we were the only Dayton market or Dayton rimshot making it to Indian Lake. Celina, St. Marys and Coldwater area we blasted in, and had most of the north of I-70 revenue. Cox walked away from a bunch of it. Before all of that, as WPTW-FM, they were Beautiful Music and the FM voice of the Cincinnati Reds.
 
KKSR Walla Walla here, but weakly. "Big 95.7", classic hits. Airs AT40: The 80s on Saturday mornings. KJEB Seattle (Classic Hits) and KRCO-FM Prineville OR infrequently heard, the latter last heard as KLTW.

Plenty of Es heard, probably 10+ stations, including KWKM St. Johns AZ with a very long branding ID "Show Low's Power 95.7, Hot FM", KPUR Claude TX (Classic Country as The Armadillo...also heard under the old KARX calls and 'The Car' classic rock), and short skip from KGMZ San Francisco (Sports) among others. Would love to hear KCGM someday, that interesting station in Scobey, Montana, pop. less than 1000, that still signs off every night and isn't on at all on Sundays.
 
Here it's K239CN a translator for KSCO-AM

Despite being nowhere in the service contour i can still hear it with a pretty decent signal.

Had both KWKM and KPUR here last year. KJEB as well. All via Es.

Yes, There is that translator i can hear but often Es is strong enough to push over it.
