Lakeshore Public Radio WLPR 89.1-FM, the nonprofit NPR affiliate serving Northwest Indiana, is about to expand its population coverage by 75 percent with the boost of its broadcast signal from 1,100 watts to 4,900 watts. The increase was approved by the FCC in November. “The upgrades will not only extend the range of our signal, but also allow us to broadcast with far fewer shadows and dead spots,” James A. Muhammad, president and CEO of Lakeshore Public Media, said in a statement.
NW Indiana is booming. Lake County IN has literally dozens of new, BIG housing developments popping up, and stations like 89.1 Lakeshore Public Radio should at the least have Audacy concerned. Lake County is completely within the coverage of WBBM+WCFS but that won’t matter if the folks in Lake County have a better choice for news and localized programs.
