EMF For "Free" in the Golden Triangle

[Engineering]

Nothing will change nothing will happen 105.3 does not make it past Baytown.

The 105.3 translator in Downtown Houston totally obliterates the signal in Baytown. I would say Anahauc is the western frontier.

Please don't cause frankberry and/or DavidEduardo to have to lock down yet another Houston thread. You'd think the 1/2 dozen they've already been forced to close would serve as adequate warning.

To be fair they didn't specify which translators

Sir. Imma need that verifiable proof

The thing I'm most surprised about is KXXF's callsign not being updated. Maybe that'll come after the KTHT purchase closes?

I don’t think call letters are as important as they once were.

True. They never changed KHJK

I think almost all of the time, you see EMF changing the calls as soon as they get their hands on a station and flip it to K-Love. My guess is that they might only change KTHT's calls to something like KVLH.

K287BQ makes it east of Baytown. It has a really great signal for 99 watts from Wells Fargo.

EMF is inconsistent about call letters. For some acquisitions a change is made, while others remain the same. Probably a coin flip whether 97.1 gets a new call.

My guess is that they might only change KTHT's calls to something like KVLH.

KVLH appears to be available, as the Pauls Valley, Oklahoma station that once held the call is now defunct.

Still curious if KROI gets a new call.

Actually rebroadcasting the 94.7 Groves translator which rebroadcasts KRLR... eventually will have a direct sat feed

Seems to be a direct feed now. PI code matches KXXF and I didn’t hear KRLR calls at the TOTH. The 98.9 and 98.1 translator frequencies were mentioned though.

 

[HTX]

98.1 serving Beaumont, which is a translator. Oddly, Radio-Locator has this as an AFR outlet with KZFT as the parent. Perhaps KZFT has K-Love on an HD-2 which is what is rebroadcast on 98.1?

AFR doesn’t have any HD1 stations

Update: The KXXF sale to EMF has now closed.

@ContinuousWave how did your court date go? (since we are talking about that region)

Let’s not, please??? We really don’t need more thread closures in the Houston forum.

 

[radioislife2020]

It was a honest question I'm interested in what happens to that station so i was curious about how it had gone. no one is debating or arguing it's a simple question with a simple answer. let's not be that forum where people can't ask a direct question.

Polemic-free discussion of KHTW should be on the Texas board as the station has no Houston presence.

Well since you asked it's been delayed due to circumstances beyond my control..or the court's

Winnie is a far suburb of Houston, and is totally served by the many Houston full signal stations on FM and by many of the AMs, too.

Winnie would be the perfect place for a station named The Pooh.

Thanks Chris! see that was easy and did not close down the conversation.

Hope things get sorted out soon

Might as well. It's already full of it.
