Connecticut Public Radio on 91.9?

MarcB

About 2 weeks ago I was at my parent's house and picked up Connecticut Public Radio on 91.9 FM with my car radio. I know it was Connecticut Public Radio because I heard an voice-over mention WNPR Connecticut Public Radio. WNPR's website does not show them having a station on 91.9 FM. My parents live in a senior condo-complex near Southington High School. WMNR owns (or owned) a one watt translator on 91.9 licensed to Southington (it's antenna is on one of the towers on Meriden Mountain) that they used to lease to WAMC out of Albany. Could WNPR be leasing this facility from WMNR?

I heard it yesterday in Berlin, figured it was WMNR using the little transmitter again and moved on to another station. Why WNPR feels it needs a weak relay station on 91.9 when 90.5 covers Meriden, Southington and Berlin just fine is beyond me.

Most car radios are pretty selective on frequency, but it could very well be bleedover from 90.5 WPKT, since you're right in the shadow of their tower on Meriden Mountain. Tell your folks the Radio-info crowd says hello! (TMI?)
