Pensacola/Fort Walton New 106.9A Fort Walton

Anyone have an update about the new 106.9 class A allocated to FWB a couple years ago?

You don't need to post the same thing in a thread twice. If someone had anything they'd comment...

The CP has eight more months to be built out until it expires on October 19.
 
I would suggest that anyone with and sense just spend all of their remaining money on Dom Perignon and celebrate not start anymore radio stations in a market with 150-200 stations coming in from one place or another. It's cheaper that way. I used to keep up with all of that various low power this and thats along the beach, but now I just go to the beach house and listen to one TOH ID on WPFM and that's it. Maybe Seabreeze.

They requested a call sign of WFWO on September 10th and filed a license to cover on September 19th… can anyone confirm if it's on the air?

Tonight, from Pensacola Beach, it’s WRNE full throttle on 106.9 with no interference.
I might be able to get a report from Navarre Beach tomorrow.
 
Boats are evacuating TO Pensacola bay and Mobile bay marinas.
The military stopped aircraft evacuations yesterday.
The Blue Angles practiced over downtown Pensacola today.

Don’t listen to weathermen, the experts think we’re good.
 
Does anyone know who the owner of this station is? The only info I can find is Holladay’s Gulf South Communications. I live in Ft. Walton and would be curious,

Where did you find that? All I can find, which is easily available on fcc records:

Eugene Cella

Wow, WRNE's 250 watt translator at 106.9 is blowing into Ft. Walton like a local. Something tells me they are running way too much wattage.

Put the brakes on there dude... way to accuse a station of something with zero proof while not understanding propagation

30 miles for a translator close to the water? easy. during warmer humid weather? Even easier.

The water and weather cause something called tropo ducting. Look it up

97.1 blasts down I-10 East for over 50 miles. Same wattage and same tower.

Same wattage, same tower, yet 97.1 seems to have double the coverage of 106.9. :unsure:

That's my experience from Baldwin County, anyway. When tropo isn't acting a fool, most of the Pensacola translators don't even break over the noise floor here. But 97.1 is audible 24/7/365.

So I guess it's safe to assume that the license to cover for the Class A station in FWB is horse squeeze? No one has reported it on air yet.
