EMF has signed on a new translator for their "K-Love" CCM format. The translator is located at 95.1 FM in Floyd Knobs, Indiana. It is a translator of WJLR-FM 91.5 in Seymour, Indiana. Since CCM station WJIE-FM 88.5 directional signal is somewhat shady in Floyd and Clark counties in southern Indiana, this additional K-Love translator brings a clearer CCM signal to those counties and a stronger K-Love presence in certain portions of the Louisville area.

3 freaking CCM stations now! WTF? WJIE, The RIVER and now K-Love wants more mainstream... maybe all this Jesus on the radio will help the rising crime rate in Louisville go down! ;D
The Louisville translator of WJIE on 93.9 FM is doomed due to the channel change and move-in of 93.7/93.9 WQKC (new COL will be Sellersburg, tower looks to be near downtown Louisville) so this is a real good sign. I think this same move in will kill WFBR-LP as well.
BTW, according to WAVE 3 tonight, only property crime went up last year. Violent crimes were down in the Metro.

93.7 was owned by Sunnsyide Communications and was later purchased by Susquehana and then Cumulus... at least their sister WAVG is... does Cumulus also own 93.7? If so this could be the way they enter Louisville.. maybe put a real country battle out there...
Well WAMZ aint going anywhere and we all know what happened with Classic Country on 104.3 it didnt survive being a 3rd country station in Louisville and WPTI is making slight in roads as a 2nd country outlet. i really dont see Louisville as being able to hold 3 country outlets on FM
we Need to see when QKC gets into louisville and what happens with the Radio One, CC, Cumulus and Cox Dealings in Cincy/Dayton/LOuisville markets over the next few months with Cincy getting 95.7 from Dayton in the future

What a great argument for height vs power. 10 watts ERP from on top of the Knobs and it sounds great at 65 & 265 in south Jefferson County. My map says that's 19 miles by air.
I can confirm a similar experience in Fern Creek, just to the east.
I went south of town tonight...last trace of the 95.1 translator was at exit 112! That's about 25 miles into KY on 65. What a signal!
I can get WTFX in Shelbyville (KY), although to be honest WRVI often comes in better.
WTFX is 38 meters off the ground...95.1 is 73 meters off the ground. When your bottom bay is just above 100' off the ground, you have trees & other ground clutter messing with your signal. Doubling the height on 93.1 would probably make a signicant difference.
