94.5 NPR relay

R

Rob

I'm now hearing 94.5 almost booming in here in Navarre. (NPR)
Did they apply for a power boost or is the fox/whatever it is now still at half power?
(out of Panama)

WFLF is back at its full power...W233BH ('NPR on 94.5') just got its license about a month ago--why would they raise their power already?
 
beats me. all i hear is NPR news and no more FOX.
or whatever they are now in PCB that used to come in almost daily. no more

we aren't worried about the WFSU translator (aka NPR relay) on 94.5(my opinion)....we aren't a FWB/Navarre station.....I understand that WFSU also just got a permit for a translator in Destin on 101.1...so much for WYOO covering the Destin/FWB area...it always amazes me why stations want (think they) to cover larger areas than they really do by just saying they do.....case in point, the announcements on 101.1 telling the listeners in Panama City "they have a choice for country music and it is on 95.5"....as us engineers say "look at the map" Dothan is 85 miles from Panama City...sure you can hear it a little in certain parts of Panama City (as long as you are not within 2 miles of the 95.9 transmitter site or not within a mile of the Laurie Avenue tower (intermod from 100.1, 101.1, 105.1 and soon to be 104 point whatever..the new Lynn Haven station)...don't even start on this one rob....it is WAAAAAY over your head.

wooten (personal opinons....not my employer)...it is easier for me to sit here in the living room on my wife'e wireless laptop watching tv than to go to the ham shack and fire up my desktop
 
Besides Bay county, is there any area that Clear Channel's Panama City stations do target? I'm guessing that south Walton county is an important market, but what about Mariana, Apalachicola, Blountstown, and the inmates in Chattahoochee?
It would seem that extended coverage and some showing in the ratings in Fort Walton, Dothan, and/or Tallahassee would be seen as a value added benefit to large advertisers on your stations.
 
poledo....absolutely we target to those areas, but like I said, we make sure we have a useable signal there before we do so ;)
 
The power of a translator...good for about 10 or so more listeners. It doesn't make bloody sense to have such weak ass stations that cover a city and that's it. (when the general audience of NPR is suburban/rural/Destin type folks)

Unless there's a demographic shift that I don't know about.

(FWB has lost a lot of tourists since Ivan)
