Lightning strike?
The best guess from those who were on site the day of the fire points to the generator, which may have been on due to high winds taking out the utility power. This certainly isn't the first time a generator has taken out a facility.

Re: UP High School Radio Station Loses Frequency To Bigger Station

It seems like a displaced Class D station can move to another frequency, even a Commercial channel, between 92-108 MHz. There are a lot of vacant Canadian allotments, but if the 34 dBu F(50,10) doesn't reach Canadian land, they could use it. A lot of applications and grants have been made recently ...

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

Interesting. Is the harmonics situation an issue involving 92.1 broadcasting from the same tower, or does it involve something else? Its not so much that 92.1 is on the same tower, but rather that the two stations share the same transmission line and 3 bay antenna on the tower. Its my understanding...

Happy someone made a post about this. It's very cute that in the Q&A following the story the Futuri execs swear up and down this is not about cost savings but delivering a better product for the listeners. Right. I heard the demo and was not impressed. To make claims about it being a "better produc...

Didn't their soft ac consultant pass away?

He passed away in 2019, per the article, so I doubt his passing has much to do with a shift happening nearly 4 years later.

That's really lame if they're using the same sat feed as 99.5!!!

I didn't realize WGLI had dumped local programming.
Usually those deals have market exclusivity....so this really suprises me that they'd be using the the same feed in the same market.

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.
