Educational Media Foundation is preparing signal upgrades for properties in the San Francisco Bay Area and Cleveland.
EMF’s 107.3 KLVS Livermore, CA seeks to relocate about 15 miles west of its current location to a new tower site in the Diablo Mountains east of Oakland. KLVS would operate with 4.1kW at 481 meters increasing its coverage into San Francisco and San Jose (Coverage Map) at the expense of its coverage in Stockton and Modesto.
In Cleveland, an application filed by iHeartMedia will see EMF’s 106.1 W291BV Solon, OH move to the current auxiliary antenna of CBS’ 102.1 WDOK where it will operate with 200 watts at 264 meters rebroadcasting an HD subchannel of iHeart’s 96.5 WAKS Akron. The new location will give W291BV coverage of all of Cleveland and its nearby suburbs (Coverage Map). As is the case with much of the EMF/iHeart partnerships, the application being prepared by iHeart means that they will operate the translator once the upgrade is complete.

I’m trying to figure out where the propose tower for KLVS is located. Also, are they short-spaced with KFRC 106.9 and KSAN 107.7 FM? Will KFRC and KSAN allow 107.3 to be this close?
KLVS is already strong in the Bay Area. With any luck at all, they’ll give up one or more of their translators (currently on 87.7, 91.9 in both northern and southern parts of the Bay Area, 92.1, 99.3, 100.9, 103.1, 104.1). There’s no reason for EMF to be on that many frequencies in one geographical area.
