Talk:WUGA (FM)

Translators
The REC Broadcast query page that shows W243CE, W248AG, and W300BF is false information. I've looked up WUGA on the FCC's pages (sorry I don't have a link), and there was no mention of these translators. Has anyone actually contacted the FCC or REC to see if REC's list is an error?

Also, the W250AC translator is there to provide reception for parts of down-town Athens that are unable to receive the main transmitter's signal clearly. Athens and it's surrounding terrain is hilly. Also, the buildings of downtown Athens interfere with the main transmitter's signal. (This information was taken from both the August 1997 program guide, and from the present Program Manager.)

 * The FCC.gov lookup does not show any translator stations for any primary station, or vice versa. As for the RAM-owned translators, RAM has made a business model of speculatively applying for translator licenses as non-commercial educational (no fees), then renting or selling them.  It is possible that WUGA/GPB doesn't know about this if RAM did not get the permission that they are required to.  Ask the station's engineer maybe, or listen around 1pm to see if they do a station ID for all translators (which they may not if each translator identifies itself).  GPB's WJSP-FM also lists several RAM translators, and two Atlanta stations were sold by RAM, one aired WCLK FM briefly (now 99X on W250BC).  –radiojon (talk) 16:27, 27 April 2009 (UTC)


 * WUGA only identifies W250AC, none other. Rapparee71 (talk) 22:17, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
