Moving WAXQ to 93.9 would result in a slight reduction in power. They are not a full 6,000 watts but someone said it would only reduce coverage by a few miles
 
My fantasy dial would include a Country and a Modern Rock station. In reality, those are hard to sell formats, but it's fun to dream though. That's what a fantasy dial is for.
 
If NYC had their full power signals as class C instead of Class B, I wonder how far their signals would reach... Maybe the 60 dbu signal contour reaches down to Toms River or heard down to almost Atlantic City? West to about Allentown PA. If Philly stations were also Class C, would there be much overlap like there is now or signal strength wouldn't matter until within like 20 miles of Transmitter site? Perhaps it would also eliminate other in between signal allocations maybe? (98.3, 100.7, 101.5, etc)?

Let’s use the Houston class C’s on Senior Road as an example. I’m able to hear them in HD to Beaumont, 85 miles away. And they’re there in analog to the Louisiana state line, 110 miles away.
Let’s assume that NYC has a 100kw class C on the Freedom Tower at 1776 feet. It would reach Philadelphia, Allentown, the Hamptons, past New Haven, and past Poughkeepsie in HD. And would be listenable to Wildwood, Wilmington, Scranton, Hudson, Hartford, and Montauk.
 
Does 880/92.3 still have the Mets, Rutgers Basketball, 60 Minutes and Meet The Press? Just Courious :)
The Mets and 60 Minutes are on 880 AM only, Rutgers football and basketball are on 710, and I don't think Meet the Press (an NBC program) has a radio outlet in NYC.

I'm not absolutely sure about this, but I recall hearing MTP on the San Francisco sister station to WBBR, Bloomberg Radio. Might want to check their schedule to see if it airs on 1130 on Sundays.
