KPQ-FM Coverage
- Thread starter bossbill
- Start date
I noticed it yesterday in Tri-Cities. Normally it booms in with RDS, but my SDR wasn't picking it up as well. In Moses Lake, I don't notice a difference because it's basically a local here.
Request to Extend a Full Power FM Engineering STA Application
File Number: 0000215178
Submit Date: 05/25/2023
Lead Call Sign: KPQ-FM
Facility ID: 71524
As previously reported to the Commission, station KPQ-FM has been operating at approximately 20% of licensed power due to a persistent transmitter issue (see FCC File No. 0000203781). A new transmitter (ordered in the fall) is expected to ship in early June but, due to snow cover at the transmitter site, installation cannot take place until mid- or late summer. In the interim, an extension of the current special temporary authority is respectfully requested. Townsquare will promptly notify the Commission when the station returns to full power.

Checking the web audio streams of Townsquare Media's Wenatchee properties via TuneIn (using Roku) I noticed an odd pre-roll. It was an announcement that (insert call letters here) would soon be leaving TuneIn, replaced by Townsquare's own solution, e.g, "Alexa, play ..."
So, is this just a cluster thing or is Townsquare dumping TuneIn across the board? I know TuneIn has tried to monetize their offering with crazy fees, etc. Perhaps with Townsquare's 3Q losses this give corporate an excuse to dump TuneIn.
