WKFB FM 97.5

[PHIL Z]

I am Listing to frankie day on 97.5 FM The Signal is Strong But "Grainy" and Seams to Float. When 770 Signs off and it's Just 97.5 FM The signal is Louder, Cleaner and Clear.Any Thoughts. I do Nothing to adjust the Radio After 770 Signs Off.

I've not detected that but I suspect the switch from Frankie Day's studio operation to whatever automation is involved (and Robert Stevens has a lot of it, for WKFB-FM, WKHB-AM and WKVE-FM) produces the cleaner sound. Or, perhaps this may be an answer: Is going from three stations at full daytime power, 2 AMs and an FM, to one nighttime AM and the aforementioned FM going to impact what goes over the combined three-station tower south of Irwin?

Kve is not on that tower.

 

[KeyTimes950]

Never said it was. FM 97.5 shares the tower with AM 620 and AM 770. FM 103.1 has a tower near Mt. Pleasant.

Sorry bout that. My mistake.

Do they stream? I wanna hear this

Is 97.5 Broadcasting from Monroeville or Westmorland county? the Signal is Strong At my home in North Hills, When Frankie Day Signs Off Good Music and no Adds All Night, But they Jingle as 770, Clark Needs to add 97.5.

97.5 transmits from the 620/770 tower south of Irwin. We don't have any jingles for 97.5, or I would add them.

it is also coming in well in the far southern portions of the South Hills
(South Park area, Bethel Park, Jefferson Hills, etc.)

At night 97.5 is playing the automated oldies that used to fill time on 770 during unsold hours. Mostly 60s
oldies with a smattering of late 50s and early 70s.

Re: streaming, only Bob Stevens knows for sure, but I don't think streaming audio for these three stations
is one of his priorities.
