92.7 W224CW Franklin Township, NJ on the air

Translator W224CW is now on the air on 92.7 FM in Franklin Township, Somerset County, NJ. It is simulcasting 8K EBC Radio from 97.1 WQHT-HD2, also heard on 1170 WWTR in Bridgewater, 100.7 W264BT in Edison, and 104.7 W284BW, also in Franklin Township -- in fact, W224CW and W284BW are both transmitting from the same tower.

I highly doubt that they need or want two translators on the same tower, and 92.7's ERP of 105 watts is a major upgrade over 104.7's ERP of 27 watts, so I'm sure 104.7 will soon start translating some other station or go dark.

I was at Freehold raceway mall and heard the 92.7 Tr station quite good overriding WOBM FM and 104.7 fm was dead air

How are they allowing this station to interfere and reach so close to WOBM?
