With the many recent posts about the stations that EMF is buying, it shows that the terrestrial radio versus satellite radio argument is becoming a moot point. A "terrestrial" station may be the source of the signal, but it's satellite radio. At least one doesn't have to pay for it, assuming one doesn't send them a contribution.

A wise man once said something to this effect: "Radio is radio, no matter how it's delivered." There is an element of truth in that statement. There is precious little difference between a satellite-fed terrestrial station--whether it be K-Love or Music of Your Life or what have you--and a satellite station. There is even the possibility that a satellite station with inserted local traffic and weather info could be more "local" in its sound than some of the stations actually located in the community. But I think that ultimately, the stations that will garner the most loyalty and that will be most effective will be those that truly are local in personality and content--regardless of how they are delivered.
I really, really hope that the unprecedented growth of K-Love and Air1 will allow them to invest more funds in adding local content the stations-I think EMF may be several years behind its orignally announced intentions on getting Air1 to K-Love's level of localization (K-Love does run a few local announcements' the only thing local to an Air1 station are the legal ID and any EAS alerts).
Speaking of EMF, Tom Cody made an appearance at Winter Jam in Louisville. He didn't even mention any of the frequencies that Air1 is on in Kentuckiana, nor did he mention any of K-Love's frequencies (which will be a zillion with all their translators springing up in Southern Indiana)-pretty much everyone in Jefferson County south of downtown Louisville isn't even aware that K-Love is even in the market!<P ID="signature">______________

Wow! I am in Jefferson County south of downtown Louisville almost everyday and I wasn't even aware of K-Love existing in the market. The only nearby K-Love stations I am aware of are WJLR-FM 91.5 in Seymour, Indiana and WKVO-FM 89.9 in Georgetown, Kentucky. I know there are a few CPs. Are there any other K-Love stations currently on the air in this area?

You probably live only a few miles from me.
Louisville (pre-2003 city limits) K-Love is 91.5. People in extreme eastern Jefferson County may be able to get 89.9 out of Georgetown reliably, but most days it doesn't even get a clean signal to Shelbyville; I can actually get it in some of the valleys in Fern Creek/Highview/Jeffersontown in my car at times. People in southeast Jefferson County may be able to get 96.3 out of Stanford, Kentucky (between Lexington and Somerset) and listen to K-Love on WXKY-FM; the signal improves substantially around Taylorsville (the city, not the road) and even moreso around Lebanon.
WJLR translator CPs are for 95.1 in Floyds Knobs, 97.9 in "Louisville" (more like Blue Ridge Manor/Middletown/Lyndon), and 98.5 in Sellersburg. I'm not sure if 102.7 in Corydon is on the air yet, but I can get a clean (albeit weak) signal from 102.7 WAKY in Springfield, KY day and night even in New Albany, so I'd imagine there are areas of awful co-channel interference.<P ID="signature">______________

The WJLR 91.5 FM signal of K-Love disappears about 20 miles north of Louisville when CSN's 91.5 translator from Hamburg, Indiana takes over the frequency. WJLR's Legal ID now consists of the Indiana towns of Seymour, Columbus, Scottsburg, and Madison. I guess the CP plan to upgrade WJLR-FM 91.5 to 50,000 watts and move CSN's Hamburg translator from 91.5 to 91.1 is history.
As a resident of Clark County Indiana, I have a better chance of picking up the K-Love's WKVO-FM 89.9 in Georgetown, KY than WJLR-FM 91.5. The K-Love's Sellersburg CP at 98.5, along with their CP at 95.1 in Floyd Knobs, will be greatly appreciated in southern Indiana since WJIE's signal is fairly weak in this area. Air 1's 88.9 low power translator from New Albany, Indiana is about the clearest CCM signal in the area. I wonder how clear the 97.9 signal will become since Lexington's 100KW WBUL-FM 98.1 is fairly strong in that portion of eastern Louisville.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by The RadioFan on 02/17/06 02:48 PM.</FONT></P>
