mrtejano Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Not a bad station (programming wise) to bad for the signal. Am I missing out on something? There's no other station here in Houston on the same frequency. Would it cause interference with another 96.1 anywhere close to us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtejano Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Interesting they're programming KTRU from Kansas. Even on my RDS it displays KTRU ON KBLT-LP . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purpledevil Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Uh...no, that's the Rice University low power FM at 96-1. This would be KBLT-LP, from high atop Rice Stadium, which is the continuation of the former KTRU 91-7, which was sold to U of H in 2011. I coined it Rice's "Lunch Special" due to the unique callset they received. The coverage area reaches into the Heights, albeit a little on the weak side. Up here north of 610, where we are, it's a tough, tough catch. Usually being stepped on by either the Lake Charles or Madisonville country station. The coverage map from the FCC is fairly representative of the real world application of the Lunch Special.http://fccdata.org/?facid=&call=kblt&ccode=1&city=&state=&country=US&arn=&party=&party_type=LICEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtejano Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 I mean it was a program on KBLT-LP named JERRY, even the lady on the radio said you're listening to KTRU on KBLT-LP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purpledevil Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 That's correct, Señor. The station still images as "K-TRU" although the callset no longer has any association with Rice University's student operated station. They, of course, are required to use the KBLT-LP call assigned to the facility, which is why you hear the usage of "K-TRU on KBLT-LP" over the air.Edit to add: there is absolutely no association with the actual 91-9 KTRU-FM licensed to La Harpe, Kansas.
