The other shoe falls in Bronxville

[cawasinnj]

WFAS-FM has applied to move south to The Bronx.

This should surprise exactly no one.

And in the process they've laid off three people!

This could put them squaw into the DMA of Market No. 1.

And what will become of that repeater on 106.3?

And Westchester has lost a local radio station. What format would 103.9 put on to compete in the crowded NYC market?

 

[DToTheJ]

Country, maybe?

Nah...

Although I believe WFAS' owner has a sister station or two that has country formats in upper Westchester...

How will WFAS-FM be able to transmit from the Bronx without interfering with reception of WKTU or WAXQ? Their current format would comptete with WLTW and Fresh 102.7. Will they lose advertisers aiming at Weschester consumers?

106.3 has been rebroadcasting WPDH for at least a year now, I believe.

It won't. Even if it did, they're a grandfathered pre-1964 allocation so it doesn't matter.
