It's part of cluster sales of groups of stations. Think "bundle".

The station is probably offered as part of a bundled package to enhance the overall value of digital and other related components within the cluster.
This....
They are very community involved with a full community outreach team and listenership connects with that. Any of the commercial stations could take this approach but it does cost $$$.
It's even more amazing they get the numbers they do with a signal that doesn't cover the entire market in a 60dBu signal.
The KSBJ signal reaches greater Houston and more with 60dBu via alternate stations, boosters, and translators.
Total coverage seems better than any other station here.

The primary 87 KW signal does well on its own.

Seems like Galveston is really the only weak spot. 92.3 covers Huntsville fairly well
Again, remember that the radio-locator contours are "predicted" and only the inner red circle is of any significance.The KSBJ signal reaches greater Houston and more with 60dBu via alternate stations, boosters, and translators.

I pick up that signal in Galveston all the time with no issues.The KSBJ signal reaches greater Houston and more with 60dBu via alternate stations, boosters, and translators.

I doubt if there are any other stations that cover greater Houston any better than the collection of KSBJ signals.
That's impressive! I think all the big boys at Senior Road cover about the same.
You'd trust the operators of a radio station to be truthful about their station's coverage? Yeah, I know, "God" and all that. Sorry, I find it hard to believe this is an accurate representation, at least so far as showing where listeners (and potential partners in the church and business communities) can get a city-grade signal.
Dont see the need for KSBJ to lie they have the numbers to back it up.
I don’t see any problem with the KSBJ coverage areas as depicted in those maps. Remember this is the flat-as-a-pancake Gulf Coast, with nothing but distance to degrade the signals.
Exactly. Devoted audience.
I mean for one 89.7 KUBJ is a directional signal. And I don’t think that 99.1 Victoria translator gets out that far
Most of those circles are optimistic at best. I still say 92.1 would have been a good fit for Hope Media to fill that huge hole of Galveston, they could have then spun off 96.9 to someone else or put their Spanish station on that signal.
There is no hole in the coverage,Just on paper. on my frequent drives 3 times per week to Galveston UTBM, where I tune in to 89.3 FM KSBJ and find that it sounds excellent even in the area mentioned as the "Galveston hole."
It does.
But I imagine it is a different story indoors. There can't be many table top radios in Galveston than can receive KSBJ.
Well, when you find a table top radio for sale in Best Buy that isn't covered in dust (if it's on display at all), let me know. Streaming makes that less of an issue for everyone.
