Possible AM signal to translator...

Months ago there was a story on Scott Fybush’s web site about Mechanicville's WABY AM 1160 signal going on local 250 watt translator W291BY(which presently still carries the audio feed for our Time Warner YNN local news station). If you go to the Radio Locator site and click the link to this translator the WABY homepage pops up. I’ve called the station and no one there seems to know anything about the switch. Maybe YNN has a contract with the translator’s owners and when that agreement expires WABY will go FM. I sure hope so as it would be a great move.

As far as WROW goes it would be super if that AM signal went on a regular FM signal or translator. Music on AM is fine if you’re listening on a clock radio but in the car or on any quality radio the sound is just too muffled sounding like a signal broadcast from underground.

How is that possible? I thought a translator had to repeat another broadcast service. A cable news channel isn't one AFAIK.

YNN I believe still airs on AM 900 WUAM :)
