In other filings with the FCC, EDUCATIONAL MEDIA FOUNDATION has asked the Commission for a Silent STA for FM translator K201GB/CENTRALIA, WA due to interference problems with another station.

[semoochie]

That just about has to be for the new Seattle rimshot.

[Chico]

Yeah, it’s a bit of a problem when they put a 76kw stick 19 miles from your co-channel translator. Actually- even moreso when you put your OWN stick 19 miles away…since EMF owns both.

PACIFIC BEACH FOOD BANK has applied to transfer low power FM KXPB-LP/PACIFIC BEACH, WA to M.A.A.P. FOUNDATION for no consideration. The move follows the food bank losing its place of operation.

In other filings with the FCC, SUNNYLANDS BROADCASTING LLC is selling FM translator K234BU/ EPHRATA, WA to READ BROADCASTING, LLC for $10,000. The station will rebroadcast Religion KTBI-A/EPHRATA, WA.

[semoochie]

OK, that’s what translators are for, improving the signal within the coverage area. The only other reason I think they should be used is to bring unique programming(if there’s a demand)into an area and I can almost name everything that would apply: NPR, Classical and Jazz.

[Scott Young]

I’m curious, when KTBI signs off at sunset will K234BU sign off as well? I’m not familiar with translator rules and I wonder if an FM translator of a daytime AM station can remain on the air when the parent station signs off for the night.

[semoochie]

The translator can operate up to 12 hours after the daytimer signs off. This enables small stations to air high school sports and the like.

[Scott Young]

Thanks Semoochie…not a bad deal. Worst case in the middle of winter you’d have to shut down from around 4:45am to, I’m guessing, 6am. Pretty good trade off for getting a nighttime signal.

[Chico]

What an odd duck that frequency is. Very few 50kw daytimers out there, I would reckon.

[semoochie]

I’m sorry, that should read “24 hours”.
