1150 has applied for a translator

August 9, 2017 Off By Eric O'Brien

The recent news of the sale of WMNY (1150 New Kensington) brought about speculation that because the principals of the two companies purchasing the station were in real estate, that 1150 would go dark and the land in Tarentum on which its towers sit would be parceled out for future development.

However, PBRTV has discovered that the soon to be owners, Radio 1150, LLC have applied for an FM translator at 95.1 to be located on the Seco Road tower in Monroeville. The application was filed on July 31 during a brief FCC filing window that happened to coincide with the proposed sale of the station.

While the speculation about the towers and land may still hold true (although moving an AM signal can be tricky) it seems that the new owners intend to stick around!
