I'm still shocked that my friend can even get it in Washington, (25 miles away give or take), imagine if they went up to 198 watts. lol
Martz has launched the wamo100 website, with streaming audio. The website has an interesting logo twist, with the original WAMO 106.7 logo on the upper left hand corner of the of the web site.

Yes, a translator is only allowed up to 250 watts so that won't work either...xm41 said:
I never really listen to WAMO when it was on 106.7 mainly because they sounded like KPRS back home. I remeber listening to WAMO AM on the Sufernet stream when they simulcast 107.1 back then. I think it was Majic for a while with a Urban AC format and then it got sold and it flipped to Adult Hits. I just saw the new website not bad needs work but not bad. Also the listen live link is up. Just waiting til they add it to Tune In Radio app on the iphone. Martz did it for their HD stations in Detroit
Hmmm... Lady Gaga? Bruno Mars? Last time I checked they weren't R&B/Hip-Hop artists even though they have been influenced by or collaborated with R&B/Hip-Hop acts.

It's there...search WAMO or WPYT, or look for 660 AM in the Pittsburgh listing.
I haven't heard those two, just Ke$ha. (or as Joel McHale loves to say, "Ke dollar sign Ha.")
If old WAMO can play George Michael new WAMO can play these people.

Haven't heard either of those in my occasional listens, but overall the music selection seems less "street" than WAMO.
Just a reminder, for all the publicity about WAMO's demise, they went broke and went out of business. The target audience, with all due respect, is not the African-American community in urban areas, it's 18-34 females of all ethnicities. 19 year old white girls listen to Lady Gaga and Ke$ha.
Seems to be in the full 99+ to me, it performs more like a low powered Class A than a translator transmitting at that height on KDKA's tower. I work in Pittsburgh, live in Wheeling WV and I can get 100.1 + their RDS on the PA/WV state line, a good 40 air miles from KDKA's Tower where 100.1's 3-bay antenna is nested
BTW, listening to the station's streaming audio today, I did hear an official "WPYT Wilkinsburg/Pittsburgh" legal ID.
I don't know if they're using FSK to ID the translator, but the AM is being properly IDed.

The whole thing might be coming from their Upstate NY/ Montreal rimshot.
I happened to glance at the the car radio today and the RDS data said "94-7 Hits FM".
How's that for return on investment? Under $300K for the AM, maybe 1 guy here to keep it on the air and a couple of salespeople. If they even show up in the ratings they make money (and with that FM signal, showing up might be about all they can expect).

Checked out the live stream and Windows closed it stating it contained malicious add ons. Not kidding
