WTSH Buys a Translator

Under the scenario I described, they could use it to boost signal outside of WTSH's 60dBu, as long as the primary signal has 60 dBu coverage. That would be the advantage of using a translator license.

Another possibility may be to "displace" the translator with the move-in. Displacement opens more options in moving channels (as opposed to +/- .6 MHz or 10.6/10.8 MHz moves). Regardless, translator licenses in metros are valuable now and the church was smart to sell it for something, and WTSH was smart to pick it up.
 
I grew up in Dallas, GA and as a kid we could barely pick up WTSH (then WZOT). They had the antenna on top of their sister AM station in downtown Rockmart. It was a class A with 3000 watts and the tower was not even 300' HAAT. Now, I can pick up WTSH where I live in the Atlanta in-town area.

This translator would extend the reach of the station down to the airport. Who knew that tiny, little WZOT would grow so big. :)
