94.1 Translator Moved to 93.7 in Newburgh

H

HotelPaper

94.1 and 106.5 which has been off the air completely the past two days has come back on the air. 106.5 is still broadcasting sound of life from 88.3 and now 94.1 moved over to 93.7,which is also broadcasting sound of life as well. Seems like 93.7 is broadcasting from mount beacon, just like K104 does. Could these translators at least broadcasting something decent!???? Nobody is listening to these religion crap stations. It'd be wonderful if 93.7 was broadcasting CBS-FM.

94.3 from Kingston is now coming in and a translator on 94.1 which is broadcasting WPLJ HD2 Real Oldies channel. I believe that station is from Chester? I though it was broadcasting HITS 103.1 from Newburgh? http://www.radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/info?call=W231BP&service=FX

There goes getting 93.7 from Hartford in the Newburgh area during tropo.
 
HP,
Gee, they were off less than 24 hours! And you proved someone is listening! Seriously, the Radio-Locator site does not always have current info. Because the process to notify the FCC of a change in primary stations is not electronic, it usually does not show up accurately. Hits103 - now that is ancient!

CBS-FM on 93.7 would be cool. I do not think that will happen though... and, I do not think the Sound of Life stations will remain on these translators, either...
 
I emailed the sound of life and they said running their programming on 106.5 and 94.1 (now 93.7) does not cost them a penny. They just own 88.3. Star 99.1 from Central NJ used to broadcast on those translators in Newburgh, but the station didn't want to broadcast on them any longer so the owner of the translators had to broadcast something or risk losing the license so they went with sound of life - for now at least. Who knows how long this will last. It's been this way since Sept-Oct 2008.

It must be the Chester translator with WPLJ HD-2. Over the past year or two, whenever I heard that translator they were carrying Thunder Country 102.1. Must have changed recently.

The new 93.7 translator is running 7 watts from Mt. Beacon. Signal pretty good here on the north side of Poughkeepsie, totally blocking usual WZMX from Hartford. As a DXer, the recent addition of translators on 93.7 and 95.7, plus the new WGMY on 88.1 ruins three nice DX frequencies. Summer tropo would regularly bring in WSTW from Delaware here and would be a good indicator of heightened FM propagation conditions.
 
93.7 is completely off the air now. 106.5 is now broadcasting WDST 100.1 in Woodstock! No more sound of life for now.

Though 102.3 in Newburgh is also broadcasting 100.1 as usual.

I have notice 106.5 seems a tad weaker at my house. Did they move the transmitter or lower the power?
 
Looks like 106.5 is going to another WDST translator. According to their web site they mention now "now in Beacon on 106.5.

Wonder if sound of life will be on 88.3 and 93.7 permanently...
