- now a 5,000 Watt Powerhouse |
For the first time in WMOV's
50 year history, the station has been granted a license update from the
Federal Communications Commission to increase the station's broadcast
strength from 1000 to 5000 watts of effective radiated power. CLICK HERE to see our new,
expanded coverage area!
Engineering tests were completed in March, and the station began
officially broadcasting at more than quadruple it's original power on
April 1st. "The increase in signal coverage area has been
nothing short of phenomenal", said WMOV General Manager Greg Gack.
"We've had reports from listeners as far away as Huntington,
Charleston, Parkersburg and just this side of Columbus, Ohio!"
We'd love to know where you're hearing 1360 WMOV; sign our guestbook here and let us
know!
The station's nighttime coverage has also increased exponentially.
While not quite as strong as WMOV's new massive daytime
signal, the nighttime footprint has now more than doubled as well.
The WMOV upgrade includes a new digital transmitter, antenna
tuning unit, new broadcast tower, audio console and extensive
electrical rewiring.
"This investment in our communty with the WMOV upgrade serves our
client advertisers by greatly increasing the number of listeners able
to hear the station. It also means that thousands more
listeners are now able to hear our programming, including emergency
weather information, local, state and national news updates, our
popular local shows like 1360 LIVE and the biggest statewide and
national radio hosts including Bill O'Reilly and Hoppy Kerchavel.
Plus, our expanded sports coverage will give Marshall
Thundering Herd, Cincinnati Reds Baseball, Columbus Blue Jackets Hockey
and Ravenswood High School fans a crystal clear signal that will boom
into over a dozen counties", added Gack.
In addition to the greatly expanded on-air signal, WMOV also broadcasts
live on line, giving listeners and advertisers even more opportunities
to listen. |
