Maybe 94.9 Will Be A Houma Station After All?

As of July, Dowdy had wanted to try and move 94.7's signal out of New Orleans a little so he could get as much city-grade coverage of New Orleans as he could.

Seems like that all changed recently.

Here's the proposed new coverage map for 94.9.

And here's the proposed new coverage for 94.7.

So maybe that guy who said 94.9 would be a Houma country station was right? And we all thought he was crazy.

Of course, I don't understand why they'd want to move a station OUT of New Orleans. And it all doesn't explain why they have office space in Metairie.<P ID="signature">______________

Don't know about WPRF being a Houma station before Katrina, but the proposed antenna placement in St. Charles parish had problems in that the FAA wouldn't give them the clearance to build the station there (It's on their FCC application for the new site). So according to FCC records on the application, the transmitter would be moved to Lafourche Parish with wattage and classification going up (currently they are a c3 at 14 kw, proposed in St.Charles was 11kw, with new proposed being a 50kw at 470 feet roughly as a c2 basically in my neck of the woods between Thibodaux and Raceland in the St.Charles community)

Format is an unknown but I know a few have said the gospel is going but we haven't seen it leave yet with 104 kicking with the black gospel basically for the last month (giving 3 black gospel stations in town right now)

Everyone knew WOPR had to move due to the highway but the movement between his original CP and the newest one filed a month ago shows the same problem as WPRF's... The FAA not wanting to sign off showing the tower is no hazard to flyers.

Every application for both stations including placement can be found on the recnet.com website but you must check off include archives.

The explaination of the move is Exhibit one on both CP applications on the FCC website.
