Talk:KWO35

Current transmitter address?
The transmitter was moved from Rockefeller Center to the Pan Am/Met Life building about a decade ago. The NOAA page claims it's on the GE building in Rockefeller Center these days, but it's possible that's using old info.

I can't find the transmitter in the online FCC data base.

Anyone able to verify one way or another? Thanks

WSJ article Monday, 03-March-2014
The WSJ featured a story about the interference issues and also answered my earlier question about the transmitter location. It's on the Met Life (formerly the Pan Am) building). http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304026804579411362657098646 wiki-ny-2007 (talk) 14:48, 3 March 2014 (UTC) wiki-ny-2007 (talk) 17:16, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

So where is it now?
As mentioned in the main article (which included a quote from NOAA) a couple of days ago, the transmitter is now in yet another new location "NEAR TIMES SQUARE". Anyone know where this is? My guess, and that's all it is.. would be the Conde Nast building at 4 Times Square (41st street) which has quite a few other tv and radio tenants. wiki-ny-2007 (talk) 03:05, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

Update: Here is the text from a PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT issued by the NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE, NEW YORK, NY, issued 1:01 PM EST, MAR. 5, 2020:

"THE NOAA WEATHER RADIO NYC KWO-35 INSTALLATION AND TESTING CONTINUES...

WORK CONTINUES ON NOAA WEATHER RADIO STATION KWO-35, OPERATING ON A FREQUENCY OF 162.550 MHZ FROM THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING IN NEW YORK CITY. ONE OF TWO NEW ANTENNAE HAS BEEN INSTALLED IN THIS NEW LOCATION. THE SECOND ANTENNAE IS SCHEDULED TO BE INSTALLED IN THE COMING WEEKS.

THE TRANSMITTER WILL CONTINUE OPERATING AT REDUCED POWER TO TEST INSTALLATION OF THESE ANTENNAE, SO AREAL COVERAGE OF BROADCASTS WILL STILL BE OPERATING IN A LIMITED CAPACITY. ONCE THESE TESTS ARE CONCLUDED AND DEEMED SUCCESSFUL, FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE TIME OF RETURN TO SERVICE WILL BE PROVIDED THROUGH A PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT. WE CONTINUE TO GET CLOSER TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO STATION KWO-35 BEING ABLE TO RETURN TO FULL OPERATION AT ITS NEW LOCATION."

Why the removal of the info about the Met Life building?
I see that another editor just removed the lines about the transmitter being on the Met Life (formerly Pan Am) building. I was and am tempted to restore that but figured I'd hold off if there's a reason for that deletion. So if you're within the sound of my voice, please let me know. Thanks. wiki-ny-2007 (talk) 02:51, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

update: It's been a month since I asked about the removal of info re: Met Life (Pan Am) building. No one's responded so I put it back in wiki-ny-2007 (talk) 22:07, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
