I just listened to K231CN and KCDF for a few minutes and they are different programming. 94.1 has 2 pastors preaching in spanish, a woman and a man. There's a guy translating in english and there's sometimes a piano in the background. 96.1 is just a woman preaching in spanish with no translation or piano. KCVE is also the same as KCDF.

HD Radio updates

Noticed a lack of up-to-date HD metadata on all of the Audacy stations as of late. They're just showing the station name and some sort of advertisement about the Audacy app, as opposed to song title/artist data. If I disable HD, RDS on KILT and KKHH does show the song title/artist, as well as the call letters rather than the moniker.
KGMX is in Lancaster, California
KGMX-FM 106.3 MHz - Lancaster, CA

It is an assumption. I don’t have the gear to actually measure field strength. But I’ve checked out these translators in multiple locations and they get out about 55 miles. I’ve heard some of the translators in Shepherd, New Waverly, and east of Navasota. They also have very similar coverage as KAMA. How can a station under 100 watts have similar coverage as a 10,500 watt station with similar height. I believe 106.1 is running legally at 40 watts (and not originating programming) but 92.5 is 10-12 watts weaker gets out so much further than 106.1 in directions it’s not supposed to be heard in. The vast majority of other translators and LPFMs in the area seem to have accurate contour maps but these illegal translators far exceed them.
I feel like if these translator operators are fine originating programming then they’re fine cranking up the power.
Noticed that too. KILT's still showing full RDS, but on HD it is still showing an advertisement to "Downlowd" the Audacy app, complete with spelling error.
I hope CMG isn’t also planning on dropping subchannels. KKBQ, KHPT, & KGLK HD2 are currently silent. The text is the station’s call sign-HD2 in the artist field and nothing in the title field.
And for Audacy so far the only changes is KHMX dropped HD2 and HD3 as first reported by Huff on here.

So it happend for at least 6 minutes so I turned HD off on my radio. And the regular FM kept shutting on and off then I heard static for a few seconds then back on FM. Didn’t turn HD back on, will listen when I get out of work
KMJQ HD-2 has been frequently plagued by low audio and other distortion issues throughout its entire existence.
I’m puzzled as to why Radio One keeps the 102.1 HD-2 going with the Praise format when it is openly available on 92.1, and in HD there as well. I’ve long suspected the HD-2’s existence, as well as the continued co-branding of both options, is to make listeners aware of a fallback option should there be a flip of sale of KROI.
We’re coming up on the two year anniversary of the revival of the Praise format on 92.1, and it has not done any better than the rhythmic CHR it replaced, with numbers wobbling around in the zeroes. While a format change or station sale in the next six months might seem likely, I am becoming increasingly jaded about that possibility. It appears Radio One is content to stuff 92.1 with more infomercials rather than make any positive improvement.
