Newark, N.J. radio station WBGO, one of the most popular jazz stations in the country, is building a new transmitter and antenna system that will provide better signal coverage and better reception across the entire metro NY/NJ area, the station announced.
In a release, WBGO said, “Our current antenna stands 420 feet in the air, transmitting a signal that gets stopped by all manner of things-hills, buildings, the New York City skyline. The new antenna and transmitter will be at twice that height, up above the New York City skyline.” The publicly support, non-commercial station is seeking donations to help defray costs.
