WNYG-Medford receives FCC License

WHY?
Why Not ? ;D
There is a Local Studio about 5 miles north of the transmitter site. Some programming does originate from New Jersey...and some from the Local Studio.
Radio-Locator, second only in accuracy to Wikipedia, has their new daytime signal as omni ; 1000 watts, from the new location.
But the nighttime coverage still eminates, all 38 watts of it, from a spot that still looks suspiciously close to the former intersection of Route 109 and SRS Highway. Apparently, an update need be sent in to Radio-Locator. You know -- an update that's just 'for entertainment purposes', just to be on the safe side.
Overall, it looks like the same signal coverage, only moved east 18 miles, lol.
Is the all-new 'Wait, Not Yet, God' directional at any time?

No, not exactly.
The current license at the WLIM site is for 1000 watts ND-D only. There is a pending application (BP-20110919ADG), not yet granted, to add 196-watt directional night service, also from the WLIM site.
Radio-Locator has a few known flaws, and one of them is that it retains outdated information when a station moves. If there's no current nighttime license information, it will simply keep displaying the old nighttime license information, in much the same way that it will keep displaying the last format information linked to a set of call letters, even if those call letters have moved to a completely different station.

IIrc, the old WPAC AM 1580 at that site had only two towers.
Nice-looking locale, in the flat pine barrens, far from the city-of-license ; a few streaks and scatterings of a few ranch houses circa 1960 ; somewhat early suburban-potential sprawl afoot.
A buddy of mine said that when 'WPAC' was on critical hours directional in the morning (and I guess the same thing in reverse near sunset) that the two-tower method was used to protect CBJ Chicoutimi at those times. He said the pattern was this sort of this loose, schmoo-shaped thing directed mostly south. Perhaps that casualness is the best a two-tower mix can achieve. He also said that in the morning, during critical hours, the station could be heard (per reception reports) in West Virginia with that pattern.
Perhaps WNYG Medford is using a similar pattern? Lol -- maybe the identical one? To save on a few $$$ in engineering studies? Chicoutimi and Worcester *are* sort of co-linear .......

Actually...WNYG is only using One Tower, daytime... so it's pattern is "circular"...They did the engineering studies....cause it's kinda hard to get an FCC Radio Station License without them.
