HIS RADIO WRTP looking to improve 88.5 signal in RDU

WRTP-FM has applied to change its city of license to Franklinton from the current Roanoke Rapids with no facility change. If this application is approved then WRTP is probably going to file a modification that will move the transmitter closer to Raleigh.
 
If they're approved for Franklinton and do decide to move closer in afterwards, they will have to employ quite a directional signal and, most certainly, a significant power downgrade, as they share 88.5 with Winston-Salem's WFDD and Scott's Hill's WZDG (there's WZNB in New Bern, but they have a CP to move to 88.1), not to mention that 88-89 Mhz block is pretty crowded in our region (First adjacents WUAW/Erwin 88.3, WRVL/Lynchburg at 88.3, WXDU/Durham at 88.7 and WAGO/Pink Hill at 88.7, ; second adjacents WKNC/Raleigh 88.1 and WSHA/Raleigh at 88.9). I seriously doubt you'd see many of their myriad translators become obsolete even with such a move-in.
