I recently came across what sounds like a rebroadcast of 93.7 WSTW on 455.411. Getting about 22 RSSI in Southern Chester County. Anyone else getting this?

All that is true,TV news departments usually use frequencies in the 450 and 455 Mhz range. If you notice the earpiece that the reporter is wearing, that is for what is known as an IFB feed. The reporter is able to hear program audio for the live shot and the director or producer is able to interrupt that audio and speak to the talent for cueing purposes or to let them know if there is a problem.
All that is true,
But WSTW FM 93.7 Wilmington DE is not known as a big news source (Top40/AOR).. So why they need to transmit audio 24/7 in addition to broadcasting on 93.7 is still lost on me..
Fun to hear the christmas music on my scanner in December though. (Even though it can tune 93.7 directly)
back in the late 80's and/or early 90's i would listen to shadow traffic. 452.975 and 453.0
after 5 o'clock they would check out nyc roads with a chopper to help their bosses have a nice ride home.
that is how you keep your job i guess.look around you never know what you can find.
We don't really know that it's legit, but probably is..Glad to know it’s legit WSTW and not Billy Bob Joe down the street with a baofeng just broadcasting to broadcast.

Most stations using an IFB take it down when not being utilized.. I'm just saying.. Not on 24/7 like this one.
Exactly!
Maybe I’ll go for a drive and try to find a transmitting location for it

According to that post the license is KPI996 but the freq doesn't match up.

No, not hearing anything. both are very close matches for SEPTA. Is that what you're picking up?Noticed something on 502.513 and 502.665, are you receiving from your location?
