Yes, I know nobody cares about HD channels. Just thought I'd post this in case someone listened to it.

Re: Robert Shiels stepping aside from WTOL after 27 years

WJR didn't receive audio from FEMA. That's what WRVF and WIOT relayed. Yes, just noise for the audio message portion.

Re: 106.5 Toledo

WOHO - No worries. We have since built a backup studio at the site (late 2018 when I had a couple interns). It's never been used, but we can easily go live from there. I has provisions for a host, three guests and can even take calls. It also has some minimal provisions to feed some of our FMs, shou...

Re: Toledo Station For Sale

From what I've been told, it will be both an AM radiator and support for the FM.

Re: Toledo Station For Sale

From my source, WJYM intentionally dropped one tower to replace it with one that will hold the FM translator they have authorized. They expect to be off another couple of weeks.

Re: Will 98.3 in Monroe Re-brand or Flip?

JGP1954 - I'm a broadcast engineer. Directional FM antennas are real. They are not that common and are not as effective as AM directionals, but they do exist. They usually just consist of extra passive elements attached to the tower to keep the pattern from being circular, just as the tower itself d...

Re: Who was let go?

I will not get into a discussion of good idea / bad idea. I'm only replying to clarify details. 1) iHeart Toledo Engineering handles eight transmitters in Toledo (WIOT, WRVF, WVKS, WSPD, WCWA, WCKY, W225AM, W235BH) and one studio location. They also handle one transmitter and one studio in Napoleon ...

Re: "Toledo's #3 radio station- K100!"

None of Toledo's iHeart stations are PPM encoded. They will not show up in the Detroit ratings.

Re: Translator for 1230 WCWA?

W262CT at 100.3 was approved for WCWA-AM in 2016, but it was never built and the assignment was later transferred to another market (escapes me which one).

92.9 W225AM is used by WSPD-AM.

Re: WVKS 92.5 Remote Skip

161.70 is WHE773, a licensed IFB channel associated with WVKS. It was on for a couple of remotes on Saturday. Apparently it was inadvertently left on after the remotes finished. It's been turned off.

Re: Could a Breeze Format make it in Toledo?

1 - The legendary Denny Moon is still very much employed here at iHeart. Although it's been widely reported as such, he's never been strictly transmitters and spends 95% of his time at the studios. 2 - I'm not sure what you are hearing on WRVF-HD3. Other than a soft compressor to watch levels, there...

Re: Could a Breeze Format make it in Toledo?

I wondered when someone would notice. The Breeze went on WRVF-HD3 starting at about 2:30pm on Friday, January 18, 2019.
