FM Frequency of the Week: 96.1

Melbourne FL

Good morning!

Nothing locally....

Most likely to appear during enhanced conditions....

WEJZ - Jacksonville FL

WRXK - Bonita Springs - 96 K-Rock (southwest Florida)

and very occasionally ZFC-FM in Freeport, Grand Bahama
 
Hartland, VT:

WDEV-FM Waterbury (city of license: Warren), a well-known small-town broadcaster with a haphazard mix of news, talk and music, 24/7 simulcast of WDEV(AM) 550.

Meriden, CT:

W241CG Southington, translator for classic hits WNTY(AM) 990.
 
East Tennessee: LPFM WLNT, Loudon,(Lint 96?) which is in a cluster that includes LPFMs and commercial broadcasters which I guess is made technically legal
 
Denver, CO (east side) - A dogfight (or catfight, take your pick) between K241CP, translator for regional Mexican KNRV(AM 1150), and KSME Greeley, one of many iHeart "Kiss FM" stations, aiming for the Fort Collins-Greeley market (? - submarket?). If I lived downtown or west of downtown, K241CP would no doubt predominate, but 99 watts from Lookout Mountain start fading out in downtown Denver. KSME is a C1, though not a full C1.
 
Silicon Valley, San Francisco Peninsula, et al: KSQQ, licensed to Morgan Hill, just south of San Jose, but in reality it seems to be located in San Jose. Airs an ethnic mix, largely Portuguese language but some Asian (Chinese?) programming too. I shouldn't be able to receive it where I live, but I'm up near the top of a 600' hill and its signal manages to make it here. A couple hundred feet down the hill, no such luck.

Before the 96.1 LPFM in Alameda/Oakland came on the air, I could receive KSQQ quite easily in the Oakland hills.
 
Wilmington Delaware

Until recently I've gotten a fair signal from WTTH 'The Touch' in Atlantic City NJ with Urban Contemporary Music. However a low power FM has signed on (W241CS) in Viineland NJ relaying WMVB 1440 AM 'La Brava' with Hispanic programming. Radio-Locator says I shouldn't be hearing it but I am.
 
"KKTX Kilgore Longview Tyler. Classic rock 96-1, Texas' best rock. A Townsquare Media station."

Technically wrong, since KKTX is 1360 AM in Corpus, but it seems good enough for Townsquare.
 
Nutley, NJ,
Normal: Hash from WXNY 96.3 NYC
Tropo: WJVC Center Moriches, NY, WTTH Margate CIty, NJ, WCTO Easton, PA, and once caught WBBB from Raleigh, NC
 
Clifton, New Jersey

No nearby licensed stations, but I have been able to receive several stations during tropo. They include WJVC "My Country 96.1" Center Moriches, NY, WTTH "96.1 WTTH" Margate City, NJ, and WSRS "96.1 SRS" Worcester, MA.

DX/Retro: On 05/30/2020, I received KLRQ "K-Love" Clinton, MO during e-skip. That station is 1,040 miles (1,765 km) away from me.
 
In the Wilkes-Barre(Northeast PA) area, it’s W241BB, another one of two translators rebroadcasting WEJL 630 “ESPN Radio”. The transmitter is based atop the Pnebscot Mountain and covers the W-B area and surrounding communities. There is another translator rebroadcasting the same format over on 94.1, whose transmitter has moved from atop the Citizen’s Voice building across from the now abandoned high school to a mountain overlooking the west side of the Wyoming Valley. I can pick both stations up at my house. I believe that depending on where you live in the Wyoming Valley, 94.1 now covers the west side and 96.1 covers W-B.

When this translator gets knocked off the air, I can faintly pick up WCTO from Allentown. There is another 96.1 translator in Scranton, but I can not pick them up.

Also, years before this translator signed on, I remembered picking up oldies WSOX from Red Lion(York) during major tropo openings.
 
North Iowa:
Fair to weak signal from KCPI/Albert Lea

Central Kansas:
At my location, I’m just out of range from KANS/Emporia’s signal. Pretty much static, though I may have pulled in some non-local stations through tropo and E-skip in the past.
 
Detroit west burbs:
There are 96.3 FM's in MOST major megacities and Detroit is no different. 96.1 is obliterated 24/7 from WDVD
