The old WMBI translator is on the air. Its coverage is directional and pathetic. It covers nothing on the pattern of a hairpin. The Class A pummels it, except for a small area close to the transmitter.
Even broker time on AM is down. Newsweb outlets that broker play more music sometimes than actual programming these days. Their handing in the permits for 2 stations in the last 10 years screams reality.
The last time I was in Milwaukee about 6 weeks ago, the only stations worth giving time was WCCX out of Waukesha, 88Nine Radio and WHAD's HD carriers. I went up and down the dial AM and FM, all the HDs. There was *nothing* else that stood out. 95.7 BIG FM jukebox. KISS and HOT 105.7 sound the same. How many sports stations? I am disappointed Fonz FM has deflated. I used to be excited listening to Milwaukee radio, couldn't get enough. When up there these days I tune in for 15 minutes up and down the dial, then off to an IP based station on my phone or head unit in my car. 🤦♂️ It is just bad EVERYWHERE Jeremy.
I hope you have had some good DX recently Jeremy as compared to the sad state of AM/FM radio!
