    How happy will Digity and Matrix media be with this, given that their WFXF Crystal Lake (103.9 the Fox) will almost certainly suffer some interference from a Chicago-based translator at that height? Another example of trying to make the FM band look like the AM graveyard.

    I truly hope that they file a complaint.

    Not only WFXF. There’s also a 103.9 the same distance to the SE in Crown Point, IN. On the other hand, if they do interfere and receive a complaint, they might be able to file for displacement and move to a better frequency.
