KDRT 95.7FM

Perhap's if the 99.7 translator in Davis was done away with 99.7 in SF could raise the power of their station too! KDRT is a low power station that has nothing to do with the power that 95.7 The Game is operating with, which was set years and years and years ago, long before KDRT was even thought of.

How long has KDRT Davis existed? Heres why Entercom's 95.7 FM San Francisco can't get a transmitted all over the Bay Area. I know KDRT is a low Power station while KGMZ 95.7 is a class B station.

LPFMs and translators serve at the pleasure of the dominant full-power station on the channel. If Davis was within the market area of SF's 95.7 the Davis station would have to change channels or shut down. But the market area does not include Davis, which is part of the Sacramento market.

Just to be technical about it, it's not about the market area, it's about the protected contours. A station is protected from interference in areas where it provides a service-quality signal. (consider a station near a market boundary: it will deliver a strong signal in both markets, and will be protected from interference in both.)

RadioStarOne: The 99.7 translator is also a secondary service; if 99.7 SF wanted an upgrade, the translator couldn't stop it.

(but 99.7 is already at maximum permissible power -- even if the translator didn't exist, no upgrade would be possible.)

How does this LPFM keep KGMZ from being transmitted "all over the Bay Area"?
