Sometimes cash talks in especially in todays economy I am suspecting that cash can be used to prolong the other non com ClassX stations for a bit.
 
Well if Bill has another 7 or 8 LPFM stations in Cincy he might actually cover the tri state lol. It was ok back when actually had on air folks all day. Now he's got a LPFM in Mason too. Just don't try to drive and listen in the car. You'll go nuts trying to figure out what frequency to tune into next

I live on the Hamilton/Butler county line, 4 miles from the ClassX tower in Mason. Horrible signal this close. 105.5 comes in a little better. I gave up listening over the air and went straight to the ClassX app on Android Auto.

Yeah I've heard 10 watt stations go farther than that signal does. I've picked it up in Lebanon on the weekend at work

And this is exactly what I don’t like about networks of translators and LPFMs. Sure, you can blanket a metro area with multiple signals, but with so much radio listening being done in vehicles, the signals are terrible and often unusable in a hilly region like Cincinnati. And as you said, when one terrible signal doesn’t work anymore, which frequency does one try next? Fumbling around with this while driving may be fun for the radio geeks on this board, but it’s not for the average listener.
