WQRA is here
- Thread starter BobOnTheJob
- Start date
so does the K-Love translator on 97.5 in Franklin that was carrying WIKL's feed of K-Love switched over to WKLU or did they flip to Air1 as well
It flipped as well, but a final order has not been handed down on it's future feed yet.
it wouldnt shock me if 97.5 in franklin ends back on Klove eventually with it simulcasting KLU
Generally, I'd agree except for 2 things...Franklin is a college town (and to my way of thinking, a better fit for Air 1) & KLU comes in pretty well in Franklin. But we shall see. Except for a couple of translators in the Bloomington area, this is the first Air 1 in the area. One thing is for sure, EMF has taken a liking to Indiana.
The flip signals to me that WQRA will build its construction permit for a new tower in NW Morgan County. I think they still have a couple of years on that though...

Your last statement there has encouraged me a little bit that perhaps the 22 1/2 years of my adult life that I spent working at WXIR Love 98.3 FM in Indianapolis wasn't for nothing. Perhaps WXIR laid a foundation that The Song enjoyed for a short time and now EMF can benefit from? Thanks.
Perhaps Indiana just has more stations going under or willing to sell out to EMF?
Nice to see the coverage, but I'd rather see local origination. That seems to be only a dream.

Understand listeners are upset towards Terre Haute they can't get K love anymore and don't like Air 1. A new K Love station there?
That is interesting some Terre Haute listeners are complaining but Terre Haute has another Christian AC WCRT 88.5 for them to listen to which simulcasts WBGL 91.7 Champaign/Urbana, IL.
How have you heard they are complaining? I hope they keep it Air1. I like Air1 much better than K-Love.
WQRA does cover a lot of rural areas not reached by 101.9 where listeners may be older and prefer the Christain AC of K-Love rather than the more upbeat Air1. But EMF targets Indianapolis with WZRA which should have more listeners than rural areas or Terre Haute.

I was listening to WQRA on Friday night driving down I-70 near Cloverdale. Heard some other station underneath.
Is this common or was there skip this weekend?
For what its worth, I like Air-1 music better than K-Love.

Station is fairly directional with the bulk of the signal going toward (surprise, surprise) Indianapolis.PTBoardOp94 said:
