WVRG, WRWM, and WPFR - 93.9 FM

PTBoardOp94

PTBoardOp94

I was in Crawfordsville at Christmas, browsing the dial. I tuned to 93.9, expecting to hear CHR. Instead I heard CHRistian programming.

Turns out this station is WVRG, an LPFM owned by the Calvary Chapel of Crawfordsville.

My understanding is that WVRG would be required to go off the air when WRWM upgrades to a B1 at Lawrence.

Could this help explain why Word Power, Inc., licensee of WPFR/Clinton is fighting their mandated move to 93.7? In defense of the defenseless secondary service on the FM band?
 
I think the people at WPFR are fighting the move to 93.7 thus preventing the WRWM Upgrade to B1 and move to Lawrence. because they dont want to move 1 channel down the dial. you dont see many other stations having as much of a fuss as WPFR is over this move and some stations have to go further around the dial when they are moved. WYXB in Edinburgh had to move from 102.9 to 100.3 in the WRKA Upgrade A while back i dont remember them fussing about it. the only other major fuss ive ever heard with station movings was when the people of connersville raised a fuss when the owners of the old WIFE Connersville sold the station to Radio One who thus moved it to Cincinnati

Nobody should ever be forced, unwillingly to move if doing so presents a decline in the service options to the local area. The allocations to rural areas should be protected absolutely as assigned to the local community. Moving stations out of rural markets in order to ¨increase service¨ (i.e. crowding) in large markets is disgusting. The public good is served best by retaining allocations for smaller markets, including those which allow larger signals to serve a regional area from those smaller markets. The consolidation of stations should also be halted and reversed by forcing restoration of prior ownership rules.
 
WPFR in moving from 93.9 to 93.7 doesnt lose one bit of signal in any direction that they arent already serving right now. so i dont see what their big fuss is over other than being forced by an Indy station wanting an upgrade. they should be lucky Cumulus has came in and bought them out from ownership of the station. Like they did with 93.7 Seymour which in turned got moved down to Louisville market.
