WBOQ sale, format change coming

Is there a reason why WBOQ cannot move their signal closer to Boston? I know there’s a low power radio station WRBB (Class D) run by Northeastern University, but the station is unprotected.

Edit: sorry, didn’t see someone had already posted WWLI.

I would be surprised if the their listeners complained more. They have a niche format and listenership. Kind of like asking Facebook Groups dedicated to particular TV shows or movies if they like channels broadcasting the show/movie. I would theorize the sample to have positive reviews.

The benefit here is that these dame listeners (or a percentage of) are who essentially pays the bills. The big difference here is that they only need to clear nationally. Their listeners could be a relative small subpopulation of the overall population of radio listeners, yet if they donate enough to keep EMF in the black, then they have a sustainable model.

That's my professional take, and I'll leave my subjective stance out of it, which isn't a feeling of disdain towards religious based music.

There is a running joke with Christuan radio, that in order to compete with another Christian station, you simply add one extra new sing to the Playlist.;D
 
Singing a new song?
>>And he hath put a new song in my mouth

From the 40th psalm, adapted into the song "40" by U2
Wikipedia:"the band would leave the stage one-by-one as the audience continued to sing the refrain "How long to sing this song?". The lyrics are a modification of the Bible's Psalm 40."

Back when WBOQ last upgraded their signal 10-ish years ago, I do recall a statement from the station that they had something in the works with another station owner to make 104.9 a full market signal. Presumably, that was Cumulus' 105.1, and clearly, that was never meant to be.

That said, EMF's engineering team is ambitious, and they've worked with Cumulus plenty before, so who knows...

It’s mainly to protect first adjacent 50kW Class B WWLI 105.1 in Providence, RI.
WBOQ has to run a directional antenna nulled to the south-southwest to protect Providence, in addition to not being able to move the transmitter any farther in that direction. Boston is in the same direction on the way to Providence from there, so Boston gets very little signal from them as well.

Will the EMF never ending take overs of commercial radio frequencies ever end?????

Not as long as there are unserved areas, signal improvements and contributions to be had. They want every American... even in Somoa and Puerto Rico... to be able to hear them.

EMF seems hit or miss on that front. They got new calls for WBRU Providence but not for WCCC Hartford. Maybe they figured CCC could stand for Connecticut Christian Contemporary. (Yeah, right.)

WCCC actually means We Cover Connecticut's Capital
 
There are only so many call letters available which in some way refer to K-Love. The 107.3
is probably referring to K-LoveBoston (WKVB). Checked wikipedia just now--yes that is the intended meaning.
