Public Radio WSQE 91.1 Corning Transmitter Move

In the Elmira market, public radio FM station WSQE (91.1 Corning) is getting ready to move its transmitter. The relay of Binghamton's WSKG (89.3) has been granted a construction permit to increase its power from the present 3.6 kW/653' to 4 kW DA/1056', a move up from class B1 to class B - and a move from its current transmitter site on Elmira's Hawley Hill to the new tall tower on Higman Hill in Corning. That's where sister station WSKA-DT (Channel 30) is already located - and where another former Hawley Hill tenant, WENY-TV (Channel 36), recently moved. WSQE's relocation will fill in a public-radio dead zone around Bath and other parts of northern and western Steuben County. (Northeast Radio Watch)
