97.7 Moving Tower location To Middletown Ohio

Queen Cities Broadcasting’s “La Mega 97.7” WOXY Mason, OH has lost the availability of its current tower location and has been granted a CP to relocate to a tower in Middletown, OH where it will operate with 2.7kW at 151.5 meters. From the new location the station will lose some coverage in the Cincinnati suburbs but gain additional coverage into Dayton.

Is this the 105.9 tower location?

I zoomed in on the map to which you can link and, yes, that is the 105.9 tower location. At one time I thought they had a CP to move to a tower a little farther south along the Middletown/Monroe border. Not sure whatever became of that.
 
They don't lose all of the Cincy burbs. Kind of a bummer.
Maybe they can tweak this a bit, once its up and running.
The 54 is nothing to sneeze at, though. Its a good, reliable signal.
Being that they are smack dab in the middle of both.... Gee, must be why its called "Middletown"... A little more juice could
make this a slam dunk.
 
Wonder why they didn't try the former 96.5 tower west of Hamilton... my guess would be, too close to 97.3... but that would certainly be a superior site.
 
They might as well call it a Dayton station with this move. Butler county has a higher percentage of Hispanics which is La Mega's target audience. Not sure about Dayton though. It looks like they will lose some of Northern KY to the south.
 
WNCI will probably lose some Dayton listeners as well. Will the 97.7 translator in Huber Hts going to have to swich dial positions for this move?

The LPFM in Huber Heights moved to 97.5 last year.
