Looking at the coverage map (if correct) the signal barely city grades Miami and 60db contour misses Kendall. If you take that out of the equation, the signal covers a great deal of population  Not so good for PPM ratings. You may be looking at their CURRENT signal contour. The proposed 104.3 Miami move in will provide a signal comparable to any of the established Miami-Fort Lauderdale class C, C0, and C1 signals like WFEZ, WLYF, WMXJ, WHYI, etc.  |

Unfortunately, the last time I looked at the FCC Google contour link, it was dead; something was wrong with the URL.

You'll need to scroll down to #3 - which is the Miramar location and click on "see map" http://cdbs.recnet.net:8080/fmq.php?facid=29567 |

You know, if Goodman moves this facility to Miami, couldn't they keep the station? After all, they might be maxed out in the West Palm Beach market, but they would then also own a station in Miami/Fort Lauderdale.

Thanks for the link, always nice to discover additional reference web sites.
Keep in mind everyone, the outer circles are the same as the FCC-Google maps and the innermost R-L contours.
The 70dbu inner circles are pretty much the full quieting under most conditions service areas.

Keep in mind, if you are tired of corporate radio. You have the choice of listening to thousands of small market operators.

Yep 60db or less in Miami. That will impact value of the station.

You are viewing the WRONG map, musiconradio:
60dbu goes north to Lake Worth and south past Homestead and Florida City, the same as the fifteen strongest commercial FM's in the market, soon to be sixteen.

I'm sure they could do it with no problem related to ownership caps... ...however... Some people have said that despite higher billing, etc, etc, Goodman doesn't want the Miami station because he needs the proceeds from that to pay down the big debt from purchasing the WPB stations. So, they spend a couple of mil to build the station down in Miramar, sells it for $15 mil...that knocks off a pretty good chunk of what he had to pay to purchase the cluster in the first place! |

Yes, he should be able to. However, common speculation is that he doesn't want to because (1) selling the station as a Miami station will give him a ton of money and (2) he probably doesn't want just a single standalone in Miami. It's getting tougher to make a lot of money in a cluster with just one station. |
