When will 107.9 W300EI ever go on the air?

New STA filed.

"As previously advised, W300EI is silent due to loss of program source. The Licensee has also been issued a CP to relocate (see LMS-0000219130) and hopes that construction on that project will be completed in the next 90 days. In the meantime, we respectfully request an extension of time in which to remain silent."

New York City needs a new radio station and 107.9 W300EI has been silent since they got their permit to broadcast on 107.9 from lower Manhattan. I eagerly anticipate the day when I can tune to 107.9 and hear W300EI on the air!

You posted this very same statement on the Facebook NYC TV/Radio group. And you still have not provided a legitimate reason why you want this to become a reality other than your perceived "need".

I tend to be very direct and very unforgiving when I see posts made up from 100% emotion and 0% fact-based common sense. So I'll give it to you straight: Your idea is half-baked. When the rules change so that FM translators can become full-fledged stations, and when the FM dial in the NYC area becomes less populated, then come back to us.

The license will expire because W300EI has been silent so it needs to go on the air

Read the prior post from "Speer360" (and all prior posts for that matter) to familiarize yourself before responding in an uninformed manner... They are requesting an additional 90 days to find a primary in order to fire up the translator. At least (for once) someone is going about things legally. That said, I concur with Rollo, emotion brings purely subjective content into any discussion...

There’s no shortage of stations that would love to have a translator in Manhattan, even if just on a temporary basis.
 
It’s nice to see a second station that will use the FM Antenna on 1WTC, as it does not look like any full power station is moving there due to its location, height and power limitations due to the height.

The 104.7 translator is not on the main antenna mast.
 
W300EI today filed with the Commission to specify EFM’s WPLJ as the station it will carry on 107.9.
The timing of this is a bit odd, because the filing includes a letter from EFM authorizing the carriage on 107.9, which is dated September 7, 2023. Meanwhile on October 10, W300EI licensee Apple 107.1 (sic) filed with the FCC for continuation of their silent status, due to losing their program source. That application is still pending.
