They are listed with a radio station broker. The listing I saw is behind a “subscriber only” wall and can’t be linked. Perhaps someone else saw it elsewhere and can post it.

How cool would it be to extend 95.1 WIIL down to Chicago and the burbs?

They did that in 2017 or so. If they were smart, they would buy them and shut them down. They tried to challenge the licenses and it never happened. Here’s their chance to either get back on them, move them, or turn them off.

Jeremy, they do not have the liquidity to buy and move them or modify them. They def CAN'T shut them down. Also the FCC will revolt when they are off the air and someone challenges their license. At that point it is a paper station (exists on paper, not on air).

95.1 is that one oddity, where it is in neither Chicago Or Milwaukee markets. But end of day except for some engineers getting a woody and wanting to wax their carrot, specifically these 2 translators are outside of the primary contours and do not serve their intended areas. If someone is trying to pick up 95.1 Kenosha from Franklin Park IL and not streaming it, need to get their head checked. Their demo is tech savvy and part of the working class. There is no excuse for it except for the total destitute that can't afford IP based communication.
