"ESPN Pensacola" shuts down: WBSR 1450/101.1 off air, new owner/format to come

I'm confused: how can a non-commercial frequency simulcast a commercial station?
I must have missed a rule change somewhere...

As seedless mentions, you have it backward. You can air non-commercial programming on a commercial station but not the other way around. WOW 90.9 hasn't gone commercial just because it added another stick. It's the same non-commercial station it's always been.
 
got it...I read it that 90.9 was going to air commercial programming from 1450/101.1...
that being said, there IS a situation north of Nashville where a non-comm is airing commercial programming from a local AM. don't understand that at all...

WOWB 90.9 is legally simulcasting on WBSR 1450, which is feeding translator W266AL 101.1. Do I have that right?
 
...as I said in a previous post the dots (or rather stations) are connected :) Congrats to Dale and his staff.

I'm not aware of that particular situation in Nashville (not that it isn't happening; I'm just not aware of it), but I do know one of WPRT's HD subchannels feeds a non-comm translator with WAY FM programming. The FCC has determined that is legal so long as the subchannel airs legitimate non-commercial programming.
 
I think there are a few cases that CC stations have fed KLOVE translators.
