K-Love Acquires WFCC/Cape Cod

T

Tomgsinger

This acquisition was just announced earlier today, bringing K-Love’s program to the Cape and Islands and adjacent South Shore areas, which were previously reliant on the distant 95.5 WLVO/Providence for K-Love programming. This also brings almost all of eastern Massachusetts within the 50 dBU contour of a K-Love affiliate, excluding Scituate and Marshfield (while the vast majority of the South Shore remains outside of a 60 dBU contour).

Actually, it makes a nice adjacent frequency combo: 107.3 covers Worcester-MetroWest into Boston and 107.5 covers the Cape into the South Shore.

Is there any reason as to why WFCC's owners did not sell 103.9 to K-Love and shift their country format to bigger 107.5 signal?

Yes. K-Love wants (and can afford) the biggest signals it can get. I doubt it would have had any interest in the smaller 103.9 signal, so if the sellers wanted to sell anything, it was 107.5 or nothing.
 
I thought someone would post before me. The switch has officially happened, and it was completely abrupt. It happened at 8pm yesterday (6/24) and they didn't even announce it. They even introduced the next piece that was supposed to be played. They did post on their Facebook page, though, and they even referred their listeners to a different classical station, WCRI Block Island. I'm not sure how much good that would do, since I don't think that signal reaches anywhere near the Cape. It might even interfere with WATD.

I’ve gotten them during DX openings, but WATD usually dominates on that frequency). You’re better off trying to get 99.5
