Western Long Island Should Have Its Own Country Station?

B

Barry

With a rather spotty signal on LI, the new Nash FM 94.7 is getting higher ratings in Nassau/Suffolk than in the NYC metro overall. And Long Island's only country station WJVC 96.1 has virtually no signal in Nassau or western Suffolk counties.
Perhaps those are factors indicating that there should be a country station for western Long Island, and perhaps Fairfield County in CT, which also does not receive Nash FM very well.
As WFOX 95.9 in Norwalk CT was recently acquired by Connoisseur Media, maybe it would make sense for them to change it from classic rock to country. There are plenty of other classic rock stations in the area, and WFOX reaches much of western Long island and southern Fairfield County.
 
WFOX is hard to receive on the South Shore of Nassau County unless you have a directional antenna facing north. It gets some co-channel interference from WRAT 95.9 Point Pleasant, NJ.

Is there any way WNSH can move its transmitter to 1WTC with perhaps a waiver from WWSK Smithtown? It's signal is extremely spotty in my locale (Massapequa Park) and it is all but dead when you go a few miles east of me.
 
WRHU, from Hofstra Univ. on 88.7 has a show called Gone Country. It is broadcast weeknights from 11 pm-1 AM.
Though it is not new, I only found out about it recently.
