WENU 1410 & WMML 1230 TO BE OFF AIR 2 WEEKS

[THE_KNICKMAN]

Went by the tower site today, the tower is up, there were 2 workers on the tower apparently connecting cabling to the cellular antennas, hopefully, 1410 and 1230 will be back on shortly. This was originally going to take 2 weeks, which it now has been. You never finish anything when you think you will. They have had for the most part very good weather to work in considering it is February.

Now has been 3 weeks and 1230 & 1410 are still silent.

[THE_KNICKMAN]

I understand that 1230 and 1410  should be back on the air by weeks end. In addition to replacing the tower, I understand the ground system needed substantial rehab.

Both WENU 1410 and WMML 1230 returned to the air at 12 noon today.

So has the singal of either station improved?

[THE_KNICKMAN]

Has the signal improved, quite frankly; YES. I live about 30 air miles from their transmitter site and 1410 was usable almost all the way home from my worksite in S. Glens Falls. Very good signal in my driveway. 1230 not quite as good. You have to remember that this is a graveyard channel and you have other stations in Hudson and Little Falls, NY, N. Adams, MA. as well as in Burlington, Vt. competing.

Can't get 1230 here in Schenectady; too close to WVKZ 1410 barely comes in during the day here though...

[THE_KNICKMAN]

WENU plans to air things like the Clark Howard show, 1PM to 4PM weekdays, weekends, Meet the Press, a wine show, a comic program and others. It would appear that Classic Country will be phased out.

WMML will air the Mets games, replacing WOFX.
