KEXP being jammed in Graham

The KXOT lease deal was a massive monetary drag on KEXP when it was a thing. It had to go.

Doesn’t surprise me. I’d honestly be surprised if there was any real value in marketing KEXP to the area that KXOT covers (at least, when it was located at Browns Point). KEXP does well, but they do well with a very specific group of people. And as Kelly mentioned, much of their listenership is driven by the internet.
 
You miss all the shots you don't take. Tacoma was seeing a bit of a hipster revival at that time, at least according to the folks at The Stranger. The internet was not as reliable at that time, either. I am sure it was costly for them but they were trying at least.

Bad words are banned on the radio for the most part. They should not do that. KPNW can be heard in Graham while KEXP can’t. In fact KEXP can’t be heard in Parkland and most likely even some places in Tacoma (primarily the South End) so it is likely that there are a bunch of KEXP listeners in Seattle since it is pretty ironic for a non full market station to get thi

Bad words? Jeez.. Looks to me like KLSW has a translator and the license to cover Graham. You had your chance to buy 104.5 when Ohana sold it. Nothing to bitch about here.
 
Rest assured, the KLSW translator has a CP to move from 90.3 to 89.1. I'm sure that Graham will be a hotspot for KEXP electronica.

With that information aside, I can't imagine that that KEXP will sound much in south Pierce County after this translator moves. KEXP has a pretty heavy null to the south, so they would have spotty coverage at best. There's really nothing that can be done short of moving to another frequency, which is exceptionally unlikely.

Yes, it's called their stream. One could listen in Prague without a translator.
 
CSN has been re-engineering a lot of their translators. One of their new filings is for K209FO 89.3 Olympia. Submitted yesterday, the signal will drop from 70 to 35 watts but will have a more (but not completely) non-directional pattern.

I bet their other Puget Sound translators will be reworked too.
 
89.3? Isn't that KAOS' frequency? Unless you mean 89.7 (channel 209).
