I'm sure this has been discussed, but why is the signal so bad in Baton Rouge, and are they going to do something to fix it?

The towers are in Jackson and Donaldsonville. And the signal strength is regulated by the FCC to be pretty weak. I forget the exact numbers.

Miss ole HW. Heard from a friend that met him at the radio call in gathering that he was a real nice guy. LOt of his pessimism was nothing more than an act and loved LSU dearly. At least that is what I heard.

Signal issue going on for about two weeks now
They are working on it but who knows
Culotta and the Prince were whining about it and how radio will be gone soon

My hope is that they're going to combine the two into one 104.7. I'm sure there is a request entered with the FCC to boost allowed signal strength.

I travel the entire SouthEast for work and the local stations are no where near as great as ours. You guys have no idea how good we have it. I usually end up steaming the 104 app rather than listening to others.

He was a radio troll before there were internet trolls. In a good way.

It has been awful from the get-go. Luckily I just got a new car and it is much better now -- little to no static in areas that used to be inaudible.

It was a little off this morning, but hasn't been an issue of late.

Unless Jimmy Chest Hair pushed the wrong button.

Anyone else hear him mute Moscona last Wednesday?

When you're driving through Baton Rouge and can't even hear it there is a serious problem

104.9 was added to address the problem. But something definitely occurred in the last couple of weeks. Both channels are suffering with the same interference.

I thought this was just in my car. Glad to see others are having the same problem
