WPSE picks up 107.1 Erie translator

WPSE AM 1450

AllAccess.com is confirming what P&T had heard for weeks now, that the Pennsylvania State University is purchasing W296BW/Erie, the 107.1 FM translator owned by Michael Celenza. The price was $68,000.

Celenza was transmitting a rebroadcast of the CSN International network, a Christian station from Calvary Chapel of Twin Falls, ID.

P&T has heard that 107.1 will be a new signal of WPSE-AM 1450, which broadcasts business news and Penn State sports from the Behrend campus. FCC rules have changed in recent years to allow FM translators to be used to retransmit AM signals. My understanding is that university funds were not used for the purchase of the station, but came from a donor.

UPDATE: Ron Slomski, the manager of WPSE has confirmed that the 107.1 signal will rebroadcast the WPSE programming stream, if the sale is approved by the FCC.
