FM Frequency of the Week: 93.3

Tyler, TX:

Most often a weak Spanish CHR "Latino 93.3" KGSR Cedar Park/Austin. It has a tough time with our own CHR next door at 93.1. Also heard on this frequency, from time to time, is Spanish sports "TUDN Radio" KQBU-FM Port Arthur/Beaumont and N/T WBAP-F...er, Hot AC "Hot 93-3" KLIF-FM Dallas. WBAP-FM allegedly comes to 93.3 DFW in two weeks.
 
93.3 MHz

WFLZ - Tampa Bay FL - 93-3 FLZ - Urban hits/dance mixes //HD1 - 2023 - most commonly heard (110 miles west of Melbourne)

retro....
WJBT - Callahan-Jacksonville FL - 93.3 The Beat - Hiphop, R&B - 2017
WWWZ - Summerville SC - Z93 Jams Hiphop, R & B (Charleston area) 2014

kw - Melbourne FL
 
Wilmington Delaware

Local WMMR 'Means More Rock' in Philadelphia. They occasionally carry Flyers hockey games when fellow Beasley station WPEN 97.5 carry 76'ers basketball games at the same time. No other stations logged.
 
KGSR from Austin at my home in Canyon Lake: 2 miles south of here and the 93.3 (Classic Country translator) in San Antonio takes over. Back when KGSR was on the tower in Bertram, they had a massive footprint (Hillsboro, Texas to San Antonio) and a lot of different formats.

Eskip has brought in KDKB (Mesa-Phoenix) and their variations of AOR/Heritage AOR/Alternative.
 
East Tennessee: A weak W227DH (WMTN) Morristown TN, and in the extreme western part of the market, W227EB, (WXRH) Rockwood.
Retro/other: Dayton, OH, Normally WAKW, Cincinnati, often WODC, Ashville (Columbus). WBTU Fort Wayne can occasionally make it, but more often in Mercer/Auglaize counties (also worked there at one time).
 
Denver, CO: Local KTCL. Originally licensed to Fort Collins; the COL was changed to Wheat Ridge, just west of Denver, apparently around 2004 to 2007, with a site move to Lookout Mountain. The station also downgraded to class C1 at that time.
 
From the southwest suburbs of Chicago ...

... once upon a tropo time, WQFM Milwaukee on a Radio Shack multibander. Impossible to make happen now thanks to IBOC sidebands from 93.1 WXRT.
 
From Pickerington, Ohio, local classic hits blaster WODC. They transmit from the Radio Free Canada tower farm, almost exactly 10 miles west.
 
Nutley, NJ regularly IBOC from WPAT Paterson, NJ (Empire State Building transmitter location)
Tropo: WMMR Philadelphia, PA and WSNE Taunton, MA (less often)
 
In Wilkes-Barre(Northeast PA), a local translator for Christian pop "Word FM" is broadcast on this frequency. The "Word FM" originates from 88.9 in Sellersville, PA, near Quakertown in Bucks County. This translator simulcasts the signal from WBYX which broadcasts on 88.7 from Stroudsburg, in which is very impossible to be picked up at my house. However, I can pick up another "Word FM" signal on 90.9 from Honesdale with a decent signal despite that it is adjacent to a local college station on 90.7.

When this translator is off the air for transmitter problems, sometimes classic hits WBZD from Muncy(Williamsport) can be heard, depending on weather conditions. During a big tropo opening on October, this translator picked up WKNZ "The Bridge", another Christian pop station out of Delaware. It also broadcasts on 88.7, thus causing interference between the "Word FM" signal and "The Bridge".
 
Central Kansas:
Nothing local, but KMXV/KC is a frequent visitor during certain days, mostly in the summer, and if your antenna is pointed in the right direction. I have caught K227CX/Manhattan, KMAN’s translator, over KMXV once (Manhattan is about 75 miles from my location) during a humid summer day.

North Iowa:
Occasional reception of KIOA/Des Moines and WIZM-FM/La Crosse, depending on the day and antenna positioning.
 
Clifton, New Jersey

No nearby licensed stations, but I have been able to receive WMMR Philadelphia, PA and W227CL Port Jefferson, NY several times during tropo.

DX/Retro: On 6/12/2021, I broke my tropo distance record when I got WERO "Bob 93.3" Washington, NC at 420 miles (676 km). I also received several one-time e-skip catches. They are KIOA "93.3 KIOA" Des Moines, IA (10/18/2021), WSYE "Sunny 93.3" Houston, MS (5/07/2022), and WQUE "Q93" New Orleans, LA (6/03/2022).
 
Hartland, VT:

A weak WNHW Belmont, NH ("The Wolf") with country music.

Meriden, CT:

Usually nothing, but Hot AC WSNE Taunton, MA, drops by during enhanced propagation.

It looks like KGSR is still on the giant Bertram tower
