If you're that concerned about it, ask them yourself. It was told to me by someone I trust, so I see no reason to question it.And you have that point of information from iHeart's corporate group?

I was just trying to determine whether you had actual information, or just speculating. Avoiding answering is usually an answer in itself.If you're that concerned about it, ask them yourself. It was told to me by someone I trust, so I see no reason to question it.
I just wonder how many times I have to say "a friend e-mailed this information to me after contacting iHeart radio himself" before you're satisfied.I was just trying to determine whether you had actual information, or just speculating. Avoiding answering is usually an answer in itself.
The statement "A friend" means it's pure speculation, not that you heard it from a reliable source.I just wonder how many times I have to say "a friend e-mailed this information to me after contacting iHeart radio himself" before you're satisfied.
Why would it be speculation if they got a response direct from someone at iHeart?The statement "A friend" means it's pure speculation, not that you heard it from a reliable source.
Because it's third and maybe more-hand information.Why would it be speculation if they got a response direct from someone at iHeart?
I thought translators were required to be fed by a primary station and be set up to go off the air if the main station's signal is lost.
If the primary station WRKH-HD3 is off the air, how is this 101.1 translator still running its programming unless they are taking a direct feed and operating in violation of the FCC rules?
HD translators are licensed as fill-in, and as such are allowed to be fed directly instead of by terrestrial antenna.
§ 74.1231 Purpose and permissible service.
(b) An FM translator may be used for the purpose of re-transmitting the signals of a primary AM or FM radio broadcast station or another translator station the signal of which is received directly through space, converted, and suitably amplified, and originating programming to the extent authorized in paragraphs (f), (g), and (h) of this section.
An FM translator providing fill-in service may use any terrestrial facilities to receive the signal that is being rebroadcast.
Correct! but if your HD partner, iHeart does not inform you how would you know?Right, but regardless of how the translator is fed, if it's HD side channel parent goes off, the translator should go off too.
I received a response from RBG today and they took the translator off. You're right, iHeart didn't notify them.Correct! but if your HD partner, iHeart does not inform you how would you know?
No.What are the rules of station identification for translators? If they only identify their parent station (i.e. WXXX-HDX Mobile) and not their translator calls, is that a potential FCC violation?
Mexico is stricter. Every half hour, with call letters, station name, city and state, frequency and owner name, too.A legal id is kinda outdated.. the US is the only country in the world who has such semi rigid laws for what an ID must include
Alex, that HD3 is probably what is feeding the translator, unless there is an AM or another station that is feeding the translator per FCC rules. If that's already the case then the owner is just giving the station the extra exposure on an extra channel.Happened to drive "home" for Thanksgiving and noticed that 96.1-3 is still low quality/volume. Why put Freedom Talk or whatever that translator on 101.1 on WKRH-HD3?
