This may be old news but I see no other post about it..... take a look at the job listings at www.nhab.org.
There's a listing for a sales manager at WKXL with this line..."JOIN A CONGENIAL TEAM AT AWARD-WINNING WKXL. GROW WITH US IN OUR EXCITING EXPANSION INTO FM BROADCASTING" Anyone with the story behind the story?

"Grow"? Uh, I guess when you're as entrenched at the bottom as WKXL is, there's nowhere to go but up. As far as 102.3 rejoining 1450...stranger things have happened, though to have any chance of success there has to be someone with a semblance of a clue running things at 37 Redington Rd, and as long as present ownership is in place, that's not gonna happen. Putting WKXL's present "public access cable channel" programming on FM isn't gonna cut it.
 
Maybe they're taking over a FM translator in town? This has been happening quite a bit in other parts of NH. WFEA on 94.1 in Manchester, WTSL on 94.3 in Hanover, WLTN on 98.5 in Littleton...

We have a winner! App just filed yesterday with the FCC: NH Family Radio buying 104.3 translator from Concord Bible Fellowship. Also a few weeks ago that 104.3 translator applied for a move from Plausawa Hill with 3 watts to the WKXL tower with 69 watts.

In other interesting translator news, Saga has filed for a power increase and change in DA pattern for its 103.1 Concord translator, from 44 to 250 watts and a DA pattern that will allow more signal to fill the towns between Concord and Manchester. Also they will replace WMLL with WZID. Curious move in that WZID covers Concord much better than WMLL already, but the power increase could not be done without the switch because the WZID protected contour reaches much further than WMLL. I wonder what Saga has up its sleeve?

A friend of mine made an interesting observation, especially in light of Saga also upgrading its 94.1 xltr in Manchester to the maximum 250 watts and a higher rooftop. Could Saga be preparing to launch a new station on its HD2 channel, and could that new station wind up on the those two xltrs? The FCC does allow rebroadcast of HD2 on xltrs.

PTR, None of Saga's NH HD stations have an HD2 channel at present and I've heard under pretty good authority none are planned due to cost.
There was an interesting thread on the Engineering board about translators being fed by HD2's or HD3's. Looks to me like it's legal, but some have different opinions.
