99.3 K257CD translator

A

azradiofan

Is someone planning to use the 99.3 translator (K257CD) now that The Beat is no longer using it ??? It's been dead air or off the air the past week.
 
Please chime in, engineers...

Doesn't this translator interfere with KMZQ 99.3 Payson? If so, why is it
permitted to operate?

Although you could ask a similar question about the KBSZ translator on
96.1, and its possible conflict with KLPX 96.1 Tucson.

Yeah, the same KMZQ that claims to serve Phoenix in it's legal ID, yet cannot be picked up anywhere in the valley thanks to the aforementioned 99.3 translator. Even without the translator on, good luck picking up KMZQ in town. Someone should really tell them to take the Phoenix out of their legal ID and just keep Payson.
 
It appears that The Beat is using the translator again, I even heard them use the legal ID as Cordes Lakes for 99.3. With the upgrade of 101.1, the 99.3 signal seems to be redundant for the valley.
 
Frmo my understanding: They wanted 99.3 for the West Valley because 101.1 is still not strong enough to get the entire valley.... ???

When they moved 101.1 to the Bradshaws, that made 99.3 redundant since 101.1's signal is now most powerful on the west side.

Michael Piazza (who owns the 99.3 translator - no relation to the former baseball player) has successfully fought Mr. Kemp from moving KMZQ closer to the Phoenix Metro. I don't know how, since translators are considered a secondary service, but he has done so.
