The great folks at WFMU just bought a translator that sits on top of 4 Times Square. It's be interesting if it improves their ratings:

Here's a switch: They bought it from a religious broadcaster.

According to the story, WFMU already is heard on this translator. The news is that WFMU is buying it, rather than just renting it.

It's only 10 watts on an 800 foot tower.

With 10 watts, it's obviously targeting the 52 floors of the elevator music demo.

You mean the 13 Floor Elevators. That's more their style.

But ten watts at 800 feet will cover the entire island of Manhattan and some surrounding areas. Probably not a lot of penetration.
