Site Anniversary; Thanks, Online with Bill A. & Tower sites

By Eric O Brien

Musings From Eric:

Before I begin, I would be remiss if I didn't let you know that today (October 21, 2009) is PBRTV's 11th birthday. Yes, it has been 11 years since Dave Hughes and I began collaborating on a site which would be akin to his DCRTV.com. Thanks for 11 great years. Here's to more!

To celebrate our anniversary, I will be Online with Bill Alexander tonight at 10:06. We will discuss the state of media in the Pittsburgh area. Programs in June and August drew in all kinds of listeners. You can find Bill's Internet-only program at http://www.onlinewithbillalexander.com/. Tune in, call in and enjoy!

Thank you to all of you who adjusted my lack of thinking and brought 98.5 WKEL in Confluence to mind when I mentioned it the other night. I will concur with a message poster that it seemed to be coming in way too clearly for where I was and it is.

While I am here, let me point you to Scott Fybush's site and the fact that the WAMO calls have been taken up to the Scranton area- They now grace 91.3 FM in Carbondale. Could they be parked there as a favor or have they left the Pittsburgh region for good?

Lastly, I am working on new tower site maps for PBRTV. The first one is up and focuses on the Pittsburgh Region. I ask your patience while I make these maps as it cannot be done quickly. The information is listed on Google Maps and is created by reviewing information on radio-locator.com and fcc.gov. Next one due out will be the Ohio Valley Region. Enjoy!

Scott Fybush has an interesting visit to the KDKA Tower in Allison Park on his Tower Visit section. It doesn’t appear in the index, but here is the link

Turns out that while the WAMO calls did go to northeast PA, it’s actually not the 91.3 in Carbondale but a different station under the same owner – the 88.7 in Dushore PA that was using the old WEMR calls. I’ll have a correction in Monday’s NERW.
