Why Franklin?

Why would individuals who used to work for Susquehanna at 104.5 go to the station in Franklin when the majority of Greater Indianapolis can't even pick up the station? Just because it's an oldies format?
 
It's a job, and a job close to home! Don't have to move the family across the country. And besides, aren't their studios in downtown Indy (with WXLW)? They are in the building next to the Emmis corporate headquarters. Personally, I don't know how they can afford the rent.

Perhaps they believe in the owner's goal of raising the tower height and power...

To raise the tower height and power the station will need to make changes that will require the cooperation/approval of Radio One's WHHH and that's not going to happen.

and don't forget about frequency mate WKUZ up in Wabash, WQLK in Richmond and WJAA in south central indiana frequency mate of WHHH, in getting that power increase. 95.9 had it best shot of going up in power pre WKUZ on 95.9 and WHHH and WJAA at 96.3

Perhaps ownership already knows all these things, and has conducted all the studies necessary to affect such change...

Also forgot to include WFMS in the equation with WHHH in Indy about allowing Gold to improve there signal.

The Franklin station remains under the same ownership, Pilgrim Communications. The people who bought WXLW from Pilgrim are the owners of Jonathan Byrd's Cafeteria in Greenwood. Pilgrim Communications still owns the Franklin station and has worked out an LMA agreement with the Byrds for 95.9.

and doesn't WTTS have a translator on 95.9?

Or perhaps WIAU is planning to move frequencies itself? 97.7 is more or less free in the Indy area, I believe. 6Kw station (WSDM) in Brazil might be the only problem to becoming a 50kw at that frequency.

What about 97.9, WGNR out of Anderson? A pretty strong signal that the Moody radio network bills as "Anderson/Indianapolis".
 
I doubt 97.7 happens as WSKT in Spencer has a CP to put up a 6kw on 97.7. If 95.9 could have been moved, it would have been moved by now. I think Radio One was looking at it at one time or another, and they would have had the easiest time doing it as they own the biggest obstacle in the way 96.3 the second channel adjacent problem. Now with 97.7 CP issued to Spencer (a first channel adjacent), it seems they are really boxed in right now.

Yup it does but it would be toast if anything were to happen with WIAU
