WDAV Announces New Transmitter
May 9, 2024
By Michelle Medina Villalon
After nearly two years, WDAV is pleased to announce that we are broadcasting on a brand new transmitter! This transmitter replaces a thirty-year-old analog transmitter we used as a back-up after our previous one was damaged by lightning.
We began broadcasting on the new transmitter on April 17th. Listeners may have noticed a few brief pops off the air during this process. We appreciate your patience as this important piece of equipment was installed.
You may have noticed something else that’s returned after a long time missing: the artist and title information displayed on certain types of radios when you tune to WDAV. Fortunately, our new state-of-the-art transmitter has dual digital/analog capabilities and enables us to transmit this information once again.
In addition to that helpful information we are able to broadcast sub-channels such as our HD-2, which features a continuous stream of Concierto episodes. Additionally, the new transmitter provides us with stronger, more robust signals.
We’ve spent the last month ironing out the wrinkles that are bound to happen with a change like this one. We sincerely thank those who reached out to let us know they could see artist/title information and/or noticed a change in our signal.
We are delighted to share this news with you and hope you enjoy listening to the music you love better than ever!
