FM Frequency of the Week - 94.7 MHz

B

Buckeyes2001

What do you all get on 94.7 FM?

Here in Vermilion, OH it is mostly WCSX/Detroit (classic rock) with a varying signal anywhere from very weak to local sounding depending on conditions. Second most common station is WSNY/Columbus, OH 'Sunny 95' with an AC format. Also very briefly caught WFBQ/Indianapolis, IN (classic rock) during airplane scatter just at the right time to hear the 'Q95' ID. 10 seconds after I heard the Q95 ID, I caught the Sunny 95 ID for WSNY. A rare tropo visitor is WXBB/Erie, PA with a Bob FM 'We Play Anything' format.
 
In East Tennessee, fairly often WGSQ, Cookeville TN

In Dayton and vicinity, WSNY Columbus was the most frequent but I had heard WFBQ as far east as Springfield
 
Far northwest suburbs of Chicago. WLS-FM....fair/good. 44 miles from their downtown Chicago antenna.
 
Cincinnati West

Local on 94.9 pretty much covers up 94.7, which is not a problem since there are no stations near enough 94.7 for casual reception anyway.

Also have a low power local on 94.5 simulcasting 700/WLW, which puts a decent signal in my part of town.
 
I believe that's exactly the idea with the 94.5 simulcast. No idea whether the problem of a delay is gone at Reds games. Last I heard, anyone listening to WLW at Great American Ball Park was hearing the game on a seven-second (or more) delay.
As far as 94.7 ... here in Pickerington, Ohio, it's all WSNY from Columbus all the time. One of the best FM signals in town
 
94.7 in Yakima is a whole lot of KATS 94.5 splatter.
In Seattle, it was IBOC from KUOW, not as strong as the others but still a nuisance.
I have heard a few 94.7's via Es however: KTWV Los Angeles, CA (Smooth AC/Urban), KRKS Denver, CO (Christian Talk) and KCNB Chadron, NE (Top 40).

Allendale, MI: I-BLOC from local 94.5 WTNR Holland
Manistee, MI: WZOR Mishicot, WI with varying strength. There is a local on 94.9 (WKZC) located 15 miles away that doesn't really affect WZOR that much in Manistee.

WCBS 880 turns their I-BLOCK off during Yankees games for this very reason. WLW ought to do the same. They probably have the FM translator because of problems getting the station inside office buildings/warehouses etc due to building penetration problems since they are using I-BLOCK.
