Missing translators

My car radio doesn’t go below 87.9 FM, speaking of 87.7.. Is that station still on air over there in Beaumont?

And I have been hearing gospel and soul music on 95.3 FM lately. Very spotty I certain areas.

87.7 in Beaumont is no more
 
Oh no.


Anyways...
They weren’t on a year ago either. Also if you didn’t know but all the analog tv stations shut down recently so 87.7 is no more. There are 2 currently testing 87.7 with atsc3
 
About 87.7/87.9, there is an LPTV station in San Antonio with a STA to continue to operate until January... They're on 87.9 though, which is not mentioned in FCC paperwork. They're lucky to not have been busted, LOL.

I did actually catch this during tropos after the shutdown. Didn’t realize they got an sta

I was in Nola back in June and was able to pick them up just fine from Winnie to almost lake Charles and on my way back so they were on the air for sure .

Maybe I missed them when I was going through Louisiana the few times I did. Lafayette did have an 87.7 that went as far as Baton Rouge by the river.
 
The KSHJ 96.1 translator is back on the air. Still not hearing the KYOK translator on 92.3 at my Cy-Fair location.
Can you even pick up 92.3 there? I also noticed that annoying buzzing sound goes away at night

According to FCC data, they have applied for an STA to continue analog. It doesn't show being granted.


The FCC granted a couple of channel 6 stations an experimental license to demonstrate whether or not it it possible to combine analog and ATSC 3.0 signals. After that finishes, the FCC will look at the data and decide whether to allow the practice to continue

I think pending means they can continue until denied
 
Just want to revive this dead thread cause the 92.3 translator isn’t broadcasting dead air anymore! It’s retransmitting 1140 AM which sounds terrible at night. I wonder how long until their 106.5 translator goes on the air.
 
I just listened to 92.3 from 11:55 am to 12:05 pm and it seemed like a pastor speaking in Spanish. There was no TOH. RDS still mentions 1140 AM even though it’s different programming. No idea what the originating station is.
 
92.3 has been back to dead air for a few days. You can hear the bleedover from the overmodulated espn translator
