The pruning of underperforming signals across the industry continues as Townsquare Media outright surrendered the licenses of two stations to the FCC on Tuesday.
94.7 KVLL-FM Wells TX and 1110 WUPE Pittsfield MA were both turned in for cancellation.
KVLL-FM, which covered the Lufkin portion of the Lufkin/Nacogdoches market, had most recently operated as Classic Hits “Fun 94.7” since January 2024. The Class C2 license was licensed with 50kW/117m. The station had cycled through many formats in recent years going from AC “My 94.7” to Regional Mexican “La Mejor” in February 2020, Spanish Adult Hits “Juan 94.7” in June 2022, and then Classic Hits.
While KVLL-FM is off the air, the station continues to stream as of this writing.
1110 WUPE Pittsfield MA had been part of the Classic Hits “Whoopee” trimulcast feeding 103.3 W277CJ Pittsfield along with 100.1 WUPE-FM North Adams. Ahead of the license surrender, Townsquare changed the parent signal of the translator to 95.9 WBEC-HD2 Pittsfield. The daytime only signal operated with 5kW directional from a two tower array on company-owned land.
