Introduction Comsearch analyzed AM and FM radio broadcast stations whose service could potentially be affected by the H and SB Line Rebuild Project in Greene and Ulster Counties, New York. Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation (CHG&E or the Client) is proposing to rebuild the existing 69 kilovolt (kV) H and SB transmission lines (H and SB Lines) located between Catskill in Greene County and Kingston in Ulster County, New York. Rebuild of the H and SB Lines (the Project) will generally occur within an existing 150-foot-wide right-of- way (ROW), be built to 115 kV requirements, and spans approximately 23.6 miles through the City of Kingston, the Towns of Ulster, Saugerties, and Catskill, and the Village of Catskill. Approximately 1.2 miles of the H Line route is proposed to be relocated to avoid a sensitive environmental resource area designated by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation as the Great Vly Wildlife Management Area. Throughout the remainder of the H and SB lines, the rebuild project will remove and replace all structures, insulators, electrical conductors, associated transmission components of the existing H and SB 23.6-mile long ROW with the exception of 24 structures that will be retained. These 24 structures were either recently replaced on an emergency basis (“high priority repair”) or were determined to be structurally sound. There are currently 256 existing transmission structures within the H and SB Lines ROW, which will be replaced with 253 new/replacement structures. 2. Summary of Results AM Radio Analysis Comsearch found ten database records1 for AM stations within approximately 30 kilometers of the project transmission line, as shown in Table 1 and Figure 1. These records represent six distinct licensed stations. Four of these stations, WGHQ, WHVW, WEOK, and WKIP, are licensed separately for daytime and nighttime operations.

Only forty-eight of these stations are currently licensed and operating, twenty-three of which are low-power or translator stations that broadcast with limited range. Due to their close proximity to the proposed transmission line, Comsearch used aerial imagery to verify the location of FM translator stations W266BX and W290BE, as well as broadcast stations WBPM, WDST, and WFRH5. While the locations of the three broadcast stations were found to be accurately reported, the actual location of translator stations W266BX and W290BE was identified at 42.209508° N, 77.899258° W (NAD 83), southwest of the location defined by the coordinates listed on the stations’ FCC licenses (see Figure 3). This places W266BX and W290BE within 500 meters of seven towers in the H and SB Line Rebuild Project.

So far I’ve heard of just one Es event just before Christmas that very briefly made it to FM and another Es event that was noticed by Chris Dunne down in Florida that went briefly to FM from Colombia.

    Public Radio Classical Audience January 2017

    Public Radio Classical Audience January 2017 Background & Executive Summary § On behalf of the Classical Music Rising project Scott Williams approached NPR to assess what NPR Audience Insights has learned from classical music stations in PPM markets that might apply to all markets. § Using a Mon-Sun 6a-7p schedule, we identified 26 stations whose schedules consist at least 90% of classical music programming in PPM markets and 113 stations in diary metro markets. § Classical music stations in PPM markets… § comprise a larger percentage of listening § Have seen significant growth in listening since 2012; the growth spans from 6a to midnight § These stations have experienced double digit percentage growth in cume and AQH since Spring 2012 across each major daypart (morning, midday, afternoon and evenings) § In terms of percent growth, the largest increases occurred in the MF 3p-7p daypart: (cume 16% and AQH 35%) § Diary market stations … § Have not seen dramatic listening growth. We see a slight bump between 2p and 7p § Have experienced a similar growth in cume listeners, but AQH growth is considerably more modest, and has been flat in the morning daypart and nearly flat in the midday. § Time spent listening in PPM markets has grown over the past year, while it has declined in diary markets. That said, TSL is greater in diary markets, as one might expect using a diary methodology. § Percent of audience that is P1 has remained fairly consistent in PPM and diary markets § Listening to classical music stations in PPM and diary markets is growing in the 65+ demo. § I would be hesitant to draw any listening conclusions in diary markets, given the vastly different AQH measures.
