CBS Radio Backup Site @ FM128

W

wcozBoston

Northeast Radio watch indicates that CBS radio is looking to build a new auxiliary site at FM128 for a backup site for WODS, WZLX and WBMX. In addition, is it true that WBZ-FM would also use this new installation for their primary transmitter site? Two questions: are they going to the existing antenna used by WJMN, and WBZ-FM adding backup transmitters to it or are they going to put up a new antenna in the same location that WODS' exiting antenna is at on the tower? Why not use the new antenna that WKLB just put up a few years ago on the 'BZ Tower for primary/auxiliary site for all four stations?
 
They are going to install an ERI 8 bay half-wave spaced side-mount antenna located slightly below where the former WODS main antenna currently sits. There have been no applications filed to move WBZ-FM primary from the top to the side mount.

WODS-FM former main now aux antenna, 270 meters.

The new aux antenna is at 255.5 meters. WBMX and WZLX will be licensed for 3.7kW & 3.8kW respective.
WODS-FM and WBZ-FM will be licensed for 15kW & 16kW respective.
