AM on FM Translator for Clase C & D Window

Looks like we will eventually have some new translators scattered around the state...

Here's the initial list from Louisiana:


ABBEVILLE 99.5 KROF ABBEVILLE LA
ALEXANDRIA 94.7 KDBS ALEXANDRIA LA
BATON ROUGE 105.1 WPYR BATON ROUGE LA
DERIDDER 94.3 KDLA DERIDDER LA
HOUMA 104.7 KJIN HOUMA LA
LAFAYETTE 99.5 KSLO OPELOUSAS LA
LAKE CHARLES 94.7 KAOK LAKE CHARLES LA
MORGAN CITY 92.9 KMRC MORGAN CITY LA
NATCHITOCHES 95.9 KNOC NATCHITOCHES LA
NEW IBERIA 107.5 KANE NEW IBERIA LA
NEW ORLEANS 93.9 WLNO NEW ORLEANS LA
NEW ORLEANS 107.9 WVOG NEW ORLEANS LA
NEW ROADS 98.7 KCLF NEW ROADS LA
PINEVILLE 107.5 KTTP PINEVILLE LA
PORT SULPHUR 99.9 KAGY PORT SULPHUR LA
RUSTON 96.3 KRUS RUSTON LA
SLIDELL 93.9 WSLA SLIDELL LA
SULPHUR 94.9 KEZM SULPHUR LA
VILLE PLATTE 93.3 KVPI VILLE PLATTE LA
VIVIAN 104.1 KNCB VIVIAN LA
WASHINGTON 93.3 KNEK WASHINGTON LA


Looks like KVPI & KNEK will have some overlap on 93.3 Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me can advise on if these stations easily apply for a new frequency after the initial review?

Also looks like KROF & KSLO translators will be playing chicken--both are proposed to be on 99.5 with overlap.

I'm supprised Truck filed for KANE and not one for KLEB. As for KNEK I thought it was simulcasting it's sister KNEK-FM 104.7.

I see the WLNO application was dismissed.

FCC Quote-

"CP New Station.

Auction 99 Form 349 tech box application dismissed 8/8/2017 pursuant to FCC 15-142 and DA 17-533. Application proposes to rebroadcast AM Class B station WLNO, and was not eligible to file in this auction filing window. See FCC 15-142, paragraph 17; DA 17-533, paragraph 5; Attachment A, paragraph 8. No letter sent. "

Any idea on how long before we start seeing some of these applications approved?

They are currently licensed as a class B but they have a cp or application to downgrade to class c but think since it's not some, it was no dice. And think KLEB is a class B am. But yeah I'm waiting to see if he will try for one to bring swamp pop back to the locals in South Lafourche on fm.

If I had to guess, I think the non interfering ones probably by either year end or March. Others will be longer.. but may have a response window so issues can be brought up (such as frequency overlap)

Me too. I think Truck should file for a "AM on FM" translator for KLEB. But what FM frequency would be a good place? I'm thinking 93.7 FM!
