The FCC recently approved a few LPFM construction permits in the PBRTV region.

First up is Broadcast Educational Communications with an amended CP for a new non-commercial FM translator at 88.7 set to serve Connellsville. It will serve the community from the tower where WKHB-FM (103.9 Scottdale) is located. The signal will be 80 watts and will likely be a presence for KQV (1410).

Up in Clintonville PA, Family Life Ministries-owned WCGT (88.7) filed to drop their effective radiated power changed from 3kW to 2.9kW. The small modification will likely not affect things significantly. The station serves the Mercer/Venango County areas.

Back over east, Meyersdale could soon see a full service 1.3kW station at 89.1. The permit is assigned to the American Militia Association.
