FM Frequency of the Week: 94.5
- Thread starter MarioMania
- Start date
Hartland, VT:
W233CC White River Junction, sports WTSV(AM) translator adjacent to the one at 94.3, presumably because of terrain.
Meriden, CT:
A very weak WERB Berlin, Berlin High School's station, can be detected on the car radio at the northern end of the city. Not sure what's being programmed now, but in 2021, the last year I lived in Connecticut, it was primarily an autopilot jukebox with occasional air shifts by students playing AC, classic country or classic rock.

In Rochester NY we straddle the fringes of two superpower FMs from adjacent markets. WNED Buffalo to the west is classical, WYYY Syracuse to the east is iHeart AC, and they go back and forth here. Used to be you could listen to either pretty clearly with a modest directional antenna. Now there's a high-power translator locally on 94.7 that makes it more challenging.
94.5 is my last open frequency in the commercial band. Usually it's a weak WMXL, Lexington. There was a longstanding pirate operating very much in the open in a nearby community which I had never heard, I had planned to take a small field trip to hear it, then it was gone. When I say out in the open, they had offices and studio and a tower out back. They were doing a fundraiser for a new tower.
Seems about the the time John Pirkle took his WNFZ on 94.3 back from an LMA operator, all of a sudden the pirate had "been bought by a company up north" and was going to continue online only. (WNFZ was subsequently sold to Midwest Communications). I'm thinking it was "shut it down or I'll bust you".

Denver, CO - Nothing. Adjacent to local KRKS-FM (94.7).
Historical - The frequency of the first FM station I heard growing up near the Iowa-Missouri border: KRXL Kirksville, Missouri. It came on the air in September 1967, with an easy listening format common among FM stations of the time. KRXL is still there, with the same call letters, and is now a long-established rocker with a class C (not C1!) signal. The original KRXL site was at the site of sister station KIRX(AM) on Baltimore Avenue - US 63 - in Kirksville.
Here's an ad from the Unionville, Missouri Republican of September 26, 1967 (this is from a publicly available newspaper archive sponsored by the local library system). The station was an affiliate of the ABC FM network (KIRX was ABC Information).
The primary owner of KIRX-KRXL was Sam Burk, who started other stations in Missouri and Nebraska; this was the combo he kept. His wife was Vera Faurot Burk, sister of longtime University of Missouri football coach Don Faurot. After Sam Burk's death, Vera Burk ran the stations for several years afterwards.

Central Kentucky:
Powerhouse WMXL Lexington.
Original calls were WLAP FM.
Believe that this was Lexington's first commercial FM. A mono 3KW signal.
In 1974, they installed a Stereo transmitter, with a 50 KW signal and was one of the first "TM Stereo Rock" formatted stations. It was a good station back then.
They went live in 1986 and changed the calls to the current WMXL in 1990

I do remember WLAP-FM from when I was either down that way or their signal drifted to West Central Ohio. There wasn't much in its way back then.
Central Kansas:
What was once the frequency of KJCK-FM/Junction City (which was easily receivable at my location), it became WIBW-FM/Topeka’s home in 2002 as part of a multi-market (and state) realignment. After the move, WIBW came in fairly well even being 80ish miles away. Since the sign on of K233BF/Abilene in the middle part of the last decade, it’s been a toss up between the two.
North Iowa:
A decent to marginal signal from KKEZ/Fort Dodge, though KSTP-FM/St. Paul will sneak in from time to time, albeit weaker.

I usually get HD hash from 94.7 WXBK Newark, NJ, which makes DXing very difficult on that frequency. However, I was able to receive WPST "94.5 PST" Trenton, NJ a few times during tropo.

94.5 in Richmond, Virginia, is the home of Audacy's CHR station WRVQ, Q-94. It has a lot of power so it can be heard in the Hampton Roads area.

Tyler, TX:
Most often it is CHR "K-94 5" KRUF Shreveport. Fair to good signal, depending on conditions. Urban AC "Majic 94.5" KZMJ Gainesville (DFW) has been known to sneak in and overtake KRUF occasionally. I also receive active rock "94 5 The Buzz" KTBZ-FM from Houston, but it's a rarity.
