FM Frequency of the Week: 95.1

[Deleted member 108832]

June 2023, say the search results.

Not as recent as I had thought, but with 52 weeks in any given year and available frequencies ranging from 87.7 to 107.9, didn't we miss a dial position (or two) somewhere?

I wouldn't know. MarioMania starts a new thread every week, so that's the person you need to ask about methodology. What I've noticed is that the thread usually moves up the dial, channel by channel, for a while, then suddenly jumps to a different part of 88-108 and proceeds up the band from a frequency there. I guess it's to avoid just going 88.1 (or 87.7, as fans of Franken FMs prefer) to 107.9 over and over.

With 100 (legit) channels, a sequential rotation on a weekly interval would take 100 weeks (23 months, give or take) to complete.

Not an exciting channel for me, all BBC Radio Manchester, all the time. Local full-service, although increasingly with some of its programming simulcast with some nearby stations due to BBC funding cutbacks.

BBC barely promote their radio frequencies any more - they are focusing primarily on online audio and social media, with 95.1 FM as a secondary service.

Totally wiped out by the lower digital band of CING Hamilton ON,

KWJB is a great station. I've streamed it online. Large playlist of music spanning mostly '70s and '80s, but there are songs that my local stations won't touch. Kudos to the management there.

In the Wilkes-Barre(Northeast PA) area, nothing. During tropo enhanced conditions, I one time pulled in WIKZ "Mix 95.1" from Chambersburg. Sometimes, ZZO from the Lehigh Valley could pop in here and there. This is one of the empty signals I could DX in my area.

Years ago, there used to be a translator from Scranton that was broadcasting Christian music, but still was difficult to be picked up in the city.

Denver, CO: It's a mess.

I'm not that far away from Commerce City, so translator K236CQ (rebroadcasting 670 KLTT) licensed to that city should be what dominates, but the reality is that the translator's physical location is farther to the north and east, so it has a fairly weak signal at my location. Moreover, Crawford has applied to reduce K236CQ's power from 250 to 150 watts. This is to allow a power increase for another Crawford translator, K237CC. See my post in the Denver-Boulder forum at https://www.radiodiscussions.com/threads/k237gg-klvz-and-k236cq-kltt-changes.769989/ - more observations on 95.3 when that frequency comes up for discussion.

Also coming in here at 95.1 is a weak KATC, "Cat Country" from Colorado Springs.

The license to cover changes to K236CQ was granted today (March 5). It has now totally disappered from my location and KATC is coming in unimpeded.
