What's this I hear on 91.1 FM?

Could it just be a distant out of town station?

I've been hearing quite frequently near Clear Lake.

Sounds like classical to me, just sort of wondering cause no other "out of town" stations including Beaumont's were coming in this morning.

Thank you

Possibly a translator from Bolivar Peninsula K216CJ 91.1 about 3.5km from the Ferry Landing on State Loop 108 near Hwy 87? It only operates with 140 watts at 137 meters, but would have a clear shot at all of Galveston Bay and probably wouldn't need a great deal of power to cover some distance.

According to recnet K216CJ relays KTXB from Beaumont which is a Family Radio station. Maybe they carry Classical Music between programs or it is very possible that K216CJ carries a different station, translators change stations rather frequently.

There is also a translator in Kemah listed 91.3, K217DJ with 183 watts at 56 meters and relays KPFT Houston, which could be playing anything. K217DJ has their antenna right in Kemah on FM2094 near Hwy 146, one block from Stewart Elementary School.

Nothing else local listed by the FCC.

If you find out, let us know.

Last time I checked, the 91.3 at Kemah was supposedly built on a cellphone tower and licensed as such. Guess what? No antenna, no translator. It doesn't exisit.

Texas Tuner thanks for the info, this checks out with the other translator that is owned (on paper) by Best Media, Inc of 15 E. North Street, Dover DE 19901. They are suppose to have a translator in Barker K217DJ 91.3 with 248 watts at 60 meters that per the coordinates would be in a persons backyard in a subdivision . That translator does not exist any longer either. Was suppose to relay KAFR 88.3 the Family Radio station from Conroe.

Looks like the two translators owned by Best Media in metro Houston can be scratched off the list of working stations. The Barker translator did exist for a short time as it put a powerful signal into The Galleria area, but they never carried any programming and it does not exist any longer at the given coordinates. They are licensed and not CP's according to the FCC.

Best Mesia owns 26 translators scatter around the country. There was suppose to be a third one in the Houston area in Kohrville, not too far off the Tomball Freeway on FM2928 near Boudreaux Road. The FCC never granted that Request a CP however, which had requested 107.9.
