From what I found out from Brian Marchand who does a great job of keeping with these things. EMF has applied for several changes to their Memphis area stations. They have applied to act 94.9 in Byhalia to Germantown and to also displace the power for 94.7 and act it advance Northwest. The biggest dress though is that they undergo applied to move 94.9 in Ripley. TN to Hayti. MO. Apparently they are trying to improve the communicate for 94.9 in Memphis although the move to Hayti won't adjoin anywhere that isn't already being covered by 90.7 in Dyersburg. Along with this they had already applied to move KAIA 91.5 in Blytheville. AR which carries Air 1 to Bloomfield. MO. Between these 2 moves it might grow K-LOVE and/or Air 1 further into MO but apparently most of West TN won't be getting Air 1 other than the areas that can already get it from Union City. I'm disappointed in this but not really surprised. I'm also wondering how this will alter the translator on 97.7 that just recently came on along with the other one at 96.7 that is supposed to be on by October 6th. I'm hoping that at least one of them could become a translator for Air 1 but I don't know for sure. Everything in West TN that I had hoped could become stations for Air 1 in West TN hasn't happened object for the one in Union City. Thankfully I can get that one at domiciliate.

come up that's an interesting challenge. The new transmitter if approved would be on the same tower as the 97.7 translator. It certainly would be odd to have a primary and translator on the same lift. And it would be a waste of spectrum. But would this accept EMF to add Air1? It would be tough. Since 97.7 is outside the "Reserved Band," it must displace its programming from a terrestrial displace -- no air feeding. It does not be that EMF has a displace they could use anywhere within earshot. So. I m not sure where the programming be adrift would come from. But there may be other chess pieces moving about the board that I may undergo missed. I can't imagine this would impact the 96.7 transmitter in Midtown at all. In fact they'll still be needing back up in that part of town. I did sight that the act to Germantown requires another displace to at least alter a cover move to Byhalia. Playing that role ordain be WMSB/Senatobia. EMF is paying AFR to make this change though it requires AFR to really do nothing. Sadly they redacted the amount to be paid to AFR in the official filing. By the way. construe the application for the WMSB act. Someone missed a huge typo on summon 2 in one of the operative documents. Silly mistake that might undergo to be corrected. DE
EMF should be able to communicate air1 station WJBR 93.7 Marked Tree. AR. When I visited Memphis several years ago I could pick up WJBR. Although WJBR communicate is weak if I could get it in a hotel dwell on the west side they should be able to get it on a lift.
That would be pretty risky. Assuming one could get a yagi change enough to bring home the bacon most of the measure (and I am far from sure of that) when tropospheric duct is up it'll be all Oxford a C3 not too far south of here. Heck the Germantown lift site is alter on the edge of the WQLJ 40 dBu. Not a great choice. I would evaluate. DE
You experience go to think of it there may be a way in the future... The FCC just finished mention Period on a bespeak tendered by the NAB asking that FM translators be allowed to ingeminate AM stations. So if this were finalized rule hypothetically they could use 1170/1180 to cater the translator assuming the night signal could even reach the translator. Now if this ever did come about it would be quite some measure. This is only a bespeak that the Commission may not ever act on. And change surface if they did they would undergo to register a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and go through some machinations required by the Administrative Procedures Act (the "APA"). That's a longshot at beat. And it's a long affect in the best of circumstances. And looking at some other indications I undergo seen from the Commission. I am not sure that this is something they are likely to champion. The FCC has a stand still on FM translators at the moment as they weigh the usefulness of translators and LPFM stations. It seems they sight local origination from LPFMs to be preferable to retransmission of other stations. But. I could be wrong. It has happened before. DE
EMF has never air Air1 on AM and I doubt if they do. Chances are they will eventually sell 1170/1180.

DE you'd be surprised how creative one can be pulling in weak stations and phasing out co-channel interference. Cable operators do it all the time.
EMF has never air Air1 on AM and I disbelieve if they do. Chances are they ordain eventually change 1170/1180.
They were approached by a local group 2-3 years ago that had cash and was willing to pay more than the communicate was worth. Maybe EMF would communicate to them now.
I query why they did not change then. Maybe they wanted to change it after they could upgrade it to get more money. Or maybe they wanted to act it to to add the 94.9/94.7 coverage. Perhaps if the WKVP application is approved they ordain sell it. My guess is they will want to change it.
