WCVJ Jefferson

C

collegeDJ86

I was over in Mercer County, PA today and remembered to check out WCVJ since their recent flip to Air 1. I used to have an Air 1 station where I lived in Indiana and enjoyed it, so I decided to tune it in. We had it on in the car for a while, and the signal remained listenable from I-80 above Youngstown all the way to Alliance exits.

That being said, with that seemingly large signal, would EMF consider moving the tower closer to Cleveland, Akron, or even Youngstown? I think they'd maybe have some issues with 91.1 FMs in Alliance and the Case Western station and also possibly the 90.9 FM in Wooster and 91.3 WAPS in Akron. So, is it even possible to move that signal? Or will it just stay put and be used so satellators can be put in the cities?

Probably option B.

I'm trying to rack my brain for any memory of EMF pulling any big in-city NCE FM move, but it doesn't compute. EMF is pretty much all about the satellators. Even in their home market of Sacramento, they are basically stuck using the translators...and I'm pretty sure they'd want an in-market full signal in Sacramento if they could get one.

The WCVJ purchase, as reported on the Mighty Blog of Fun(tm), is very much in EMF's pattern...of buying full-power FMs in small cities outside a metro, then feeding satellators in the metro with the signal.
