Original Report 2/17: Manning Broadcasting will soon launch AC “102.1 More-FM” W271BV Hagerstown, MD via 106.9 WWEG-HD2.
The new translator will compete with West Virginia Radio Corporation’s 97.5 WLTF Martinsburg, WV and Alpha Media Hot AC “Mix 95.1” WIKZ Chambersburg, PA. Manning purchased W271BV in October for $25,000 from Airport Investors as the translator made a series of applications to move into Hagerstown proper. When launched it will operate with 250 watts at 74 meters from the tower of sister News/Talk 1490 WARK.
Manning registered 1021MoreFM.com, More102.com, More102Music.com, and MoreFMHagerstown.com last September and is already including the station in its marketing materials.
