Many people including myself in the Mankato area listen (used to) to Kttb B96. But now we cant pick it up anymore. Are there any plans to add a translator in the area? Or better, a new hip hop station?

From The upper midwest broadcasting page Upper Midwest Broadcasting

MINNESOTA:
"B96" (KTTB/96.3) has completed its transmitter move to New Hope. After several days of stunting during its Hip-Hop format with listener phone calls suggesting new formats, the station announced the move Tuesday and encouraged listeners to check out the signal on the east side of the metro area. The Northern Lights Broadcasting station downgraded from 100kW/176m (class C1) to 19kW/77m (C3) in order to move its transmitter from rural Watertown into the metro area. It will also change its community of license from Glencoe to Edina. (8/25/2009)

Yeah I recall reading that on Northpine, but no word on what they plain to do to cover the Mankato area, or the rest of southern minnesota that used to get B96 for that matter. Seams like it would be a good idea to rebroadcast B96 in Mankato. 90.1 is wide open in Mankato full 250 watt translator would be nice
