Re: City of Grand Haven evicts WGHN-FM from tower due to lease violations

The proposed tower is owned not by Crown Castle, but by a company called KC Properties out of Muskegon.

From all that I've seen, it appears WGHN-FM is a full A that can have 6kw up to 100 meters HAAT.

WJIM-FM Local Air Talent?

It appears that the last of WJIM-FM's local talent, McConnell Adams has left the building for a job in Mississippi. This lead me to wonder who is actually on the air at 97.5? According to this webpage, https://975now.com/djs/ "At Townsquare Media Lansing, we do our best to support our local communit...

Re: Unused AM allocations

There really are no unused AM allocations per se as there has never been a table of assignments like FM and TV. Once an AM vacates a frequency, others on the same or adjacent frequencies are free to make technical changes that they were previously not allowed to do when the former facility was licen...

Re: WJMN dumping CBS?

There has to be something else at play here. Nexstar would not intentionally f*up WJMN unless there is some trading about to take place. I bet WJMN is combined with WLUC one way or another down the road. Who owns the combined operation remains to be seen. I’ve been wrong before. https://en.m.wikiped...

From the FCC application to move from 105.1 to 102.3: "The proposed move in frequency is intended to eliminate overlap of co-channel station WMGC-FM interfering contour with the service contour of W286DC. W286DC previously reduced operating power to resolve interference complaints from WMGC-FM. The ...

Re: 4 Channel, Quadraphonic Sound

I remember when W4 106fm was Quad. I still have a few W4 Quad 106fm t-shirts. Was that in the Detriot area? Yes, W4 was a Detroit original. The studio was located on Jefferson Ave. 2930 East Jefferson to be exact, I know that place well. From a Google Street View of that address, it appears the STL...

Re: ABC12 and TV5 sale apparently completed

Saw a promo during the 5pm news hour on ABC12 where they were advertising a black news network nightly news program at 8pm “check your local listings”. I wondered WTF? Just realized why after watching the end of the news - news was copyrighted by their new owners “Allen Media Group”. I’m guessing t...

Re: FCC repack

WILX is also simulcast on RF 29 (WLMN-LD); tower is at Pennsylvania and 496. I know that can be received as far away as Dewitt. Do a rescan and see if it pops up if you're having problems with RF Channel 10.
