I really don't know how far out WBSR 1450 gets at night but 1230 gets out 10 miles with a useable signal (assuming you turn off all the electronics and move the radio around to find the sweet spot). 1450 runs the same power from a tower about 2-3 miles to the west (which should give 1450 coverage out to Perdido Key... should, I have no idea if it does.) Remember, it's easy for a graveyarder to cover the relatively compact "city" of Pensacola (south of I-10) and Pensacola Bay helps the signal get out to Gulf Breeze and Pensacola Beach (and I know this). Pace and Milton are SOL when it comes to 1450 at night. The 101.1 translator would turn WBSR into a money making machine. I don't know who's pulling the strings, but they appear to have just enough cash to do what needs to be done to introduce a new radio station to Pensacola... signing just the right sports teams... if they could just get that translator on the air... If I was in charge, I'd build out the translator and light it up on game nights without telling the FCC... but I'm a little crazy and I don't respect authority figures unless they carry a bigger gun than I do.
Has Fuzion 100.1 played the Temptations or Love and Rockets "Ball of Confusion"... well, about a dozen well known bands covered that song, so they could play different versions of it for at least an hour.
It does seem kinda strange that central Alabama has WLWI blasting Auburn football while most people that want to listen to a Tide game have to pull in a static filled rimshot.... Who carries Troy State and Alabama State football in the Capital city? I would expect all four teams to be on 50k-100k stations with solid coverage. The only tough decision would be whether ASU or TSU got the prime spot on Hot 105.7.
... y'all still have it better than we do in Pensacola. Unless your inside or south of the Pensacola city limits, AM coverage of Bama, FSU and Florida is not likely available. We do have Auburn on FM with Sunny 105.7 (and other stations for those north of I-10) but if we wind up with tropo conditions on Saturday... then who knows what we can pick up. Then there's LSU, it's always available everywhere on the big 870 WWL, but we don't have that many LSU fans here, if we do they keep their mouths shut... they might be afraid some Alabama fan that got himself a GED and has never even visited Tuscaloosa will poison their trees.
