Just discovered this on Radio Locator two days ago; I had the impression that 98.7 (as well as sister station 92.5) were pretty well locked in to their current tower site; but according to the CP, 98.7 will move to the area just south of Gandy Blvd in Saint Petersburg, on San Marcos Blvd, near Derby Lane and either on the same site or next to the 680 AM tower.
Power would decrease from 50,000 watts to 47,000 watts as well as a very slight decrease in antenna height, but all in all it will help their signal in Tampa and most of Hillsborough county and no significant loss of coverage in Pinellas and moving their tower site west and away from the Gulf of Mexico will certainly should give them more land coverage and less of the signal being wasted on the Gulf of Mexico.
