Check the signal pattern. It’s HIGHLY directional to the east. Like go a couple blocks NW of the transmitter and the signal is gone directional.

Yeah it’s supposed to be directional but is it actually directional?
Yeah. The signal doesn't exist a few blocks NW of the transmitter.
same with the 96.1 lator, go one block west of the highrise no trace cat country booming in, go east makes it to lakehurst SMH, all these new pop ups in the city are shoving their signals SE into Jersey to protect all the LV signals. If listeners in Jersey had LV stations on their radios, forget about it...
By design.. thats a very very tight pattern and it sounds like W241CH is functioning as it should
The pattern below is from fccinfo.com
when STW first flipped to stereo rock late 77 they were a hard catch in Philly sandwiched between MMR and YSP whereas JBR was always right there very strong no co channels. This was when most radios were slide rule and you had to tune exactly. Driving in the city was impossible to lock on to STW, but nowadays with all these digital units there is no problem....
Well found the long term answer.

I am pretty far outside W264BH coverage but somewhat in WLEV coverage and Philly's Favor overpowers WLEV. Its pretty annoying because I like listening to WLEV but Philly's Favor comes blasting in most of the time.
Well, only a week or two late of when WJBR was sold... and what... a couple of years late of when they stopped airing on WJBR-HD2 anyway?
Time is a meaningless construct 😉😉😉
I lost interest when the concept of an "informal objection" to the FCC was introduced.
Yep they’ve had no originating station since last summer i’m pretty sure. Additionally, they are still on air last time I checked an hour or so ago.
I object!
But you know, in a really casual way. If you don’t mind and it’s not too much bother.
The way a lot of translators operate isn't always Kosher.
Where I live our Classic Hits station is an AM with a translator and a few times I've heard the translator running different programming. - A couple months ago they had a glitch where they were running the same songs on an hourly loop. While the Italian Show and Lutheran Church Mass aired as normal on the AM, the translator continued on with the messed up Classic Hits feed.
They have a sister station that plays Spanish Hits. It supposedly originates at 104.1 HD2 and is on translators throughout the state - 97.1, 98.5, 99.5, 1017, 102.3, and 104.5 in 2 different areas of the state. On more than one occasion 104.1's HD channels were down, but their Spanish Hits format continued on the translators.
So that's what that is on WRNB HD3.
Well found the long term answer.

I don't know which Spanish 104.1 that's blasting in the city wiping out the once listenable WAEB, it seems there are a few 104.1s in the area coming from Jersey. It might be the one that recently moved its antenna to Mount Laurel, who knows
