Translator Sales
iHeartMedia sells Silent 94.9 W235BA Williamsport PA to Vic Michael’s Mountain Community Translators for $10. W235BA went silent in July when iHeart noted that its landlord has withdrawn availability of the transmitter site. At that time the station’s “Rock 94.9” programming moved to 95.5 WBYL Salladasburg. Michael will utilize the translator to rebroadcast 1380 WMLP Milton, which is currently part of the “Twin Valley’s Talk Network” along with 94.5 W233CP Milton, 1340 WWPA/101.7 W269DX Williamsport, and 105.1 WILQ-HD3 Williamsport.
