Same station on two frequency's..

Not an earth shattering post here, but traveling to Livingston Tn, daily..I noticed their FM station 104.7, WLIV, was also on 104.3..with just a snitch of delay..both stations sounded fine..not like a ghost..and no crosstalk as if they were cutting across some one else..Watt...or anyone else..talk tecchy to me..thanks...pj
 
W282AG Livingston. 250 watts @68m, 8.5 miles from the 104.7 transmitter. It's a FM translator, co-owned with WLIV. It's old enough that the paperwork was filed with the FCC on actual paper (not online through the FCC website) so I can't read the application. It would have said who they planned to relay and, quite likely, why.

I'm guessing that due to the terrain around there, 104.7 has some dead spots in Livingston & they put up the 104.3 transmitter to fill them in. But that's just a guess.
 
AHHH didn't think about a translator..I usually reserve thoughts along those lines to AM stations that want to get out..Thanks..
 
In other words, this business of relaying AM stations, HD2's, and satellite feeds on FM translators has become so commonplace that we've forgotten it's legal to use one to actually rebroadcast an FM station :)!
