Oldies pirate, relaying Scott Shannon True Oldies.

[Mid West Clubber]

Th station is on 91.7 and is good from Franklin, to past Columbus, they call it Indiana;s triue Oldies... iw sih some one would do that here,, but i can always listen to WLS FM and WOKI Knoxville and Indy Oldies for my Oldies fix.. but nothing in the car.

Where are they getting the feed? I'd assume an affiliate's stream?

Maybe this will expand to other Indiana communities.

 

[gr8oldies]

Assuming True Oldies has network spots, how do they handle blocking them?

Based on what I see in radio-locator....it looks like one of Chief Engineer's stations on Bob On The Job's tower.

Those maps are always a bit misleading, I listened to it when home for Christmas and it came in just fine all the way to Seymour

i think satellite music service providers i believe send the network commercials over a seperate feed. because. i remember ABC's real country Sat feed. ive heard 2 between when WCKN carried in indy and WLBC-AM in Muncie aired it WCKN would be in commercial but WLBC was still airing music and vice a versa

 

[gr8oldies]

The sat providers provide optional commercial breaks to stations which the network fills with a "timed record" for stations not breaking away. There are mandatory breaks where they feed network spots.

 

[BobOnTheJob]

Chief clears the spots on 990AM in Muncie and True Oldies is cool with that.

 

[Mid West Clubber]

Well if this is your station BOB,, Any chance they boost their power to hear them im Martinsville in the future,, we need a true oldies format,, if not with Shannon, then just a station that plays 50s 60s and 70s, with an emphasise on 60s. We have WCLS but its not the best oldies station, but better than nothing, i liked KLU better.. and especially Quins Oldies 102 back in the day, but their power was too low.

Not my station...it's owned by ChiefEngineer on this board. I don't think he can boost it any further the way the rules are written, but he did try. He can increase the power to 150 watts from 19 watts without causing interference, but the applicable translator rules limit it to 19 watts unless it's translating a station that already covers this area. WRFM, Wilkinson,IN (the station originating the Oldies feed) doesn't already cover this area.

 

[Flying-Dutchman]

Bob, It gets out very well from your place. Yes, height does matter. There are translators with higher power that don't do this good. There is no flutter in the signal when driving around Columbus and
it does go all the way to Seymour.

If people want to hear 91.7 further out, just get a $20 directional antenna and 20 foot pole. That
will double the distance you can receive it. I use to listen to WBST from Muncie in Indianapolis.
This was back in 1975 when they were 10 Watts. I frequently heard WEDM in Springfield Ohio.
They were also 10 watts from Warren Central high School. So, low power can go a long way.

It's equally good in Franklin. Another good example is the 10 watt K-Love translator on 95.1 in Floyd's Knobs. Sounds great 17 miles south at I-65 & the Snyder Freeway on the far south end of Louisville. Back in the early 70's, WOXR 97.7 in Oxford,OH shut down their transmitter at 11PM or midnight...With an outdoor antenna, I always heard their exciter in the city limits of Cincinnati (20 air miles) even though the Gates FM1G transmitter showed 0 watts output. In many cases, that first 10 watts is more important than the next 5990 watts are. A simple yagi is a very effective way to improve the FM listening experience...and FM DXing is a fun hobby to boot.

I used to get WOXY 97x back in the 80s and 90s here in martinsville,, some nights WKRQ and WINK 94.1 would make it inot martinsville.. WWNK used to be an easy catch in Martinsville, but we have a local there now, and if its off air I get the Watseka Illinois station.

I found a few oldies stations on AM,, one is actually a nostalgia format, but with 50s and 60soldiesmixed in,, its on 740 AM and is very clear in central indiana most nights, I think its a Toronto station.

It is in Toronto & a very strong signal. I heard it in Sarasota,FL a week ago!

I am tempted to give you a station where a little jock translates and relates Shannon's True Oldies Channel, pretending to join forces with him. But I won't. the little jock sits back and waits to see which side of her mildewed bread the butter lands on.

 

[Mid West Clubber]

If I had my way, indy would have oldies, dance, 80s-90s More focused than 107.9,,, but I never get what i want... At least i got WCLS for a mediocore oldies station, and my little Part 15 net station with a dance format, and tons of 80s oldies, and dance streams online....but i cant hear them in my car..

This is my favorite AM radio station, though I listen to the internet stream most of all on my laptop. The link is www.am740.ca, aka Zoomer radio, or CFZM. At 10pm each night they play an hour's worth of vintage radio programming, usually a drama in the first half hour, and a comedy in the 2nd half hour. This week they are playing "Suspense" and "The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show". Say goodnight Gracie.
