WQMX is actually licensed to Medina, Ohio, about 20 miles west of Akron. At the time of this air check, the station had just changed from WBDN/Easy Listening. The new format lasted a few years before converting to country with the same calls, which it remains today.
You mean WDBN. As Beautiful Music “The Quiet Island,” it boasted a huge 116,000-watt signal, and was reportedly so powerful that they gave co-channel WVIC-FM in East Lansing, MI - hundreds of miles away - a hard time as close to Lansing as Flint. Now they only broadcast with 16,000 watts.
I became chief engineer for WDBN in 1977. It’s now 2008 and I still watch over 94.9mhz. in this region. I can honestly say that I have never heard of the interference w/WVIC story…Sounds a little like ‘a fish’ tale if you ask me!By the way when we moved the xmtr site to ‘Copley mountain”, we gave up our grandfather rights and went to 16kw at nearly 900′haat.Shaved 3 to 4 thousand dollars(PERMONTH) off of the electric bill and had the best flame throwing signal ever!!
