A New Day In The Mornings For Magic 98

Radio Insight Reports that WMGN - 98.1 FM is getting a new morning show. Posted by Lance

I've never been able to get 98.1 FM reliably in Fitchburg, there's a spanish station that interferes with it but for those who can get 98.1 FM without interference - check it out, seems refreshing and something worth listening to.

Pardon my diversion, but how can you have trouble getting a Class B FM that is LITERALLY right in your backyard? Unless this Spanish station (probably a pirate) is right next door.

It's been this way - gosh knows how long, I moved from Whitewater to Fitchburg in December. I had to get a J-Pole tuned to 98.1 FM and hook it up to my SDR and even my HD radio just to actually get 98.1 FM without issues. Another method I used was pointing a TV antenna into the North West to filter out this spanish station. With the amount of translators and LPFM signals, never thought about pirates - yet alone in a major market, I would assume the FCC would be visiting the operator within 2 weeks if it was a pirate. To be fair I thought maybe it was some sort of image. This is the HD Radio and SDR being used
