91.7 WUMT Marshfield On The Air

J

Yet another simulcast of 91.9 WUMB has launched. I just noticed that 91.7 WUMT Marshfield is now on the air. They've got a tough battle ahead of them, competing with the Brockton pirate for dominance of 91.7 on the south shore...

If it's indeed on the air, it has yet to be added to the top-of-the-hour litany of call letters and locations.

When I was listening on there, I noticed an automated ID for only WUMT play at :30... not sure if their clock was off, or it also plays at the top.

They have also been broadcasting on WPNI 1430 AM out in Amherst, MA for about six years now, with an automated ID that runs only for that station.

When will WUMB just go away? They're as bad as all of the other non-comm Clear Channel wannabees.

Not if you're a big fan of the music. I love being able to listen to WUMB all the way from Union, CT, to the North Shore. I wish WERS had a similar network stretching west.
 
I just visited WUMB's website.. they have THREE transmitters at 91.9 - Boston, Worcester, and Falmouth? No wonder the audio stutters when i'm listening in the car..

I run into fluttery audio around Westborough/Framingham on the Mass Pike. It's not a perfect system. There's also a little coverage hole in Salem/Beverly/Swampscott, where WMWM eliminates both same-channel WNEF and adjacent-channel WUMB on all but the most selective receivers.
 
I'm mostly listening driving around Reading / Andover - where I now know I'm hearing the Boston and Worcester transmitters battle it out. Seems like in Plymouth you'd get the same thing between Boston and Falmouth, but I guess at that point you'd obviously know to nudge over to 91.7 in Marshfield.

What I'm curious about is the cause of the delay.. is the audio offset from latency between STL's or HD delay misalignment? Or is the speed of light so slow that Worcester reaches my FM 50 milliseconds after Boston does?
