Beasely should just give up on 97.5. Launch a currents based AC station to go after WBEB maybe

Did you not actually read what David posted about how they’re doing with specific male demos and billing?

But that low power station has an HAAT of over 1000 feet, and covers 2/3 of the market with a 60 dbu signal. For its purpose, it is not as horrible as you paint it.

Ok, it's a little better than a really good translator.

And like those really good translators watts in the hundreds can only do so much in dense urban environments, penetrating parking garages and office towers.

Plus it's in mono which helps it reach further.
How much further? I have no idea.

The mono helps some, cleaning up stereo noise in the fringe reception areas on many receivers. It's not a magic wand though.

But with 250 watt translators or 270 watt 103.9, if you can squeeze out another couple of miles of usable service and your content mono anyway, then it's a great decision.

(I've have personally made that decision for a handful of translators running spoken word programming.)

Except the content delivery is in stereo. Just put on WIP-HD2 or the webstream. But I can see why they chose to make 103.9 mono although I noticed they turned off the HD a while back. I won't complain as I can get WMGM and WAEB-FM better now.

You've only completed half the assignment.

I don't WRNB will ever come close to WDAS's ratings
