B

Barry

RadioInsight reports that the translator, which broadcasts from One World Trade Center with 99 watts, has been sold to Family Radio, for $425,000. It will rebroadcast WFME 1560 AM. The seller was Apple 107.1 Inc.
Perhaps between this signal, and WFME FM 92.7, most of New York City, outside of Staten Island, will be able to receive Family Radio on FM.

Station Sales Week Of 6/12: Family Radio Expands In New York City

Translator Sales Family Radio continues to regrow its coverage in New York City as it purchases 107.9 W300EI New York

107.9 WOLD-LP in Woodbridge, NJ was supposed to move to 103.9 to resolve interference with W300EI, but as of yet that hasn't happened, and their CP will expire in a few months.

And it looks like WFME will be permanently relying on temporary STAs, even after the previous administration's FCC gave them a slap on the wrist and warned them to find a new permanent transmitter site.
 
Looks to me that WFME still has an excuse to rely on STAs for the time being. WSNR has next dibs on the WPAT tower site that WFME is currently using. WSNR's CP is expiring in about a month so (unless WSNR too are seeking an extension), WFME needs to see WSNR's faciliities at WPAT to decide whether going quadplex there is worthwhile.

Back in 2023, WSNR claimed that "pursuant to Court Order, WSNR must vacate its current transmitter site by July 2024". Whatever happened to that? Are they now already operating from the WPAT/WNSW/temporary WFME site? There have been no updates in WSNR's FCC file since then.
