Which WSMW...94.1 and 88.9 are both in Seneca under WSMW (1150 AM).
94.1 The Lake identifies as WSMW but on RL it is listed as a translator for WGOG (W231BX)
The 88.9 is listed as a translator for WSMW as well (W205CU).
The Light would get a stronger signal in that area on either one...

It's not like The Light needs a stronger signal. It has the strongest signal in the Southeast.
I agree, it seems the mountains in Northern Greenville County are a concern for the western Upstate sometimes (88.7 WNCW has/had a translator in Greenville at 97.3) but a few weeks ago 106.9 The Light was coming in like a local station all the way down near Augusta GA.
From what I read the article only said WSMW AM, the Lake. not sure where that leaves translators. sorry.
The Lake 94.1 translator is repeating the HD2 channel of co-owned WGOG. WSNW(AM) repeats WMIT and is repeated over the 88.9 Clemson translator. The translator is on top of Six Mile Mountain.
While you can hear WMIT in Augusta, it’s signal west of Easley over to Seneca, including Clemson, is distorted by mountains along the NC/SC state line which shadow the 106.9 signal in those areas. The AM is needed so the translator can operate at 250 watts and it’s signal is outside the FCC 60 dBu contour of WMIT. WMIT now owns the Clemson translator and one at Cherokee, NC which fills in the shadowed area of WMIT signal in that area yet it comes in clearly in the Tri-Cities TN/VA.

WMIT added translators in Charlotte and Rock Hill. Rock Hill is understandable since it has a station at 107.1, but even east of Charlotte WMIT is blasting like a local station. I checked in response to someone asking if WAVO Rock Hill, which has a wide range on AM, was simulcasting yet.
What exactly is their Charlotte transmitter? They had a CP in Charlotte for 104.3 but it seems that never went on.
The 88.9 provides a much cleaner signal for the Clemson area....now its heard on the top of the hour ID as well.
WMIT now has a long list of stations in addition to their main (2) signals
106.7 WFGW Norris/Knoxville, TN
98.1 (W251BR) Knoxville, TN
106.3 (W292CJ) Asheville, NC
94.9 (W235CT) (WSMX 1500 AM)
Winston-Salem NC
94.7 (W234CF) Boone NC
101.3 (W267AD) Franklin/Cherokee NC
101.5 (W268DM) (WAVO 1150 AM)
Rock Hill SC
88.9 (W205CU) (WSNW 1150 AM)
Seneca/Clemson SC
Note that they now own 2 separate signals on 1150 AM in Rock Hill and Seneca SC..

There was a Signal on 104.3 MHz for a couple of years in Center City Charlotte but that Frequency is Dark now. Steve.
Are you sure? They just bought the translator.
Never mind. Blue Ridge Broadcasting purchases station and translators in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Rock Hill, South Carolina - BGEA Media
Well WMIT just added another station (translator)
104.3 W282BP - Matthews NC
Heard it on the Top Of the Hour ID.
I wonder what the interference is like in that area if 104.1 W281BY is also broadcasting in that area too (CP).
