Montana boomer 104 missoula

I have found this station by accident on the net, just looking for oldies formats, they sound great, top notch with many "oh wow" cuts, great presentation. The question I have is does this station broadcast over the air or strictly internet, I did hear a few local commercials but when I look them up it states its connected to some HD4 dance station.. I am on the right coast. so I cannot possibly pick them up over the air, if they do have a T signal. If it is an OTA signal that small area is lucky to have a station like that, here in a big city like Philly we have nothing but garbage on the air.
 
Thanks for the info, so they really do exist OTA, why do they use 104.1 FM?
They use KMSO-FM to host the stations, KMSO broadcast 4 program channels in digital HD, First Channel is the main programming for KMSO Analog. The other 3 channels are feeding 3 unique FM Translators.

"The Drive" HD2 - is rebroadcast on FM Translator K279CP on 103.7 FM
"Boomer 106.3" HD3 - Rebroadcast on FM Translator K292GH on 106.3 FM
"Wild 104.1" HD4 - Rebroadcasts on FM Translator K281CH on 104.1 FM
 
Kudos for them to utilize their HD sides, I found Boomer by accident while searching the oldies radio site, they popped up you cannot find them on line to listen on any other platform, if the oldies radio site is down you cannot listen to them. Dont even know if they know they are on that site, it gets them listeners

Listened to them a little bit on my trip to Montana last month. They remind me of my local oldies station in Yakima - Kruz'n KTCR (980, 106.9). Plenty of 1960s and early 1970s on this station, reminiscent of oldies stations 15-20 years ago. John Denver songs, too. I spent a lot of time on 107.9/103.7, The Drive, as well. They have a clear signal all the way down the Bitterroot Valley, even in Darby.

Another AWESOME station is The Big 100 (100.7), KIBG, up in Bigfork. The music mix is top-notch and it's all live announcers from 6am-7pm weeknights. Plenty of oh wow's in the format. I remember hearing "Return to Pooh Corner" by Kenny Loggins, "I Don't Care Anymore" by Phil Collins, "Without Your Love" by Toto, and lots more that other classic hits stations won't play. Small-town radio at its finest. No stream, unfortunately. A couple of 1960s songs an hour, too.

I might be back in Montana at the end of the month, so I wouldn't be surprised if I spend a lot of the drive with the radio on 100.7!

I highly doubt the yare pulling 6 hour live shifts in Polson... id bet anything, the last 2 hours of the morning show and the first two hours of the afternoon shfit are voicetracked, at minimum.. in the moment IE: They voicetrack an hour or two or within the same hour as they do other duties
