That’s what surprises me most about continuing to maintain the FM signal. I’ll bet less than 3% of the H-F students who have ever listened to WHFH ever heard it via any FM tuner. More and more households today have no terrestrial radio devices at home, and if they do they are completely unaware of it… Like the big multi-function 7.1 A/V system which has 8 device inputs, and happens to have a tuner buried in there. With no antennas connected.

> … EMF is gobbling up Class C signals in major markets …

Absolutely. I am thinking by 2026 or so, when EMF and/or their non-comm competitors continue to expand. EMF now has 3 feeds as far as I am aware: K-Love, Air1 and Boost. If they’re okay with one of those (like Boost) landing on Class D translators such as W248BB, adding a 4th or 5th feed on more Class A’s, D’s and LPFMs seems viable — especially in markets where competitors (e.g. BBN, Pensacola, SonLife, Calvary, Family Radio, shine.fm) have already gobbled up top-notch signals.

Can owners like EMF work around ownership caps with LMA’s?
