W264BW (100.7 FM) — branded The Project 100.7 / 106.3 — is a commercial radio translator licensed to Norwood, Ohio providing limited coverage to southern and central parts of Greater Cincinnati. Owned by EMF Broadcasting, Inc. and currently under lease to Clear Channel Media and Entertainment, W264BW simulcasts the alternative rock format heard on the HD2 digital subchannel of Cincinnati rock station WEBN (102.7 FM). The same feed also airs over Cincinnati area translator W292DT (106.3 FM), and is available online via iHeartRadio.
History
W264BW began on July 29, 2004 as W263BD. On January 1, 2007, the translator adopted its current callsign. Although FM translators in the U.S. are generally not permitted to originate their own programming, the Federal Communications Commission has recently allowed FM translators to simulcast the programming of both AM stations and HD2 digital subchannels. In effect, this allows radio companies to create additional analog stations, like W264BW, outside the traditional path established by the FCC. Prior to April 2012, W264BW carried content from the Air 1 radio network as an analog radio station.[1]
On April 24, 2012, owner EMF Broadcasting, Inc. leased the translator to Clear Channel Media and Entertainment. Over W264BW, Clear Channel opted to simulcast the hot adult contemporary (hot AC) format heard on the HD2 subchannel of Cincinnati area station WKFS (107.1 FM). Branded 100.7 The River, WKFS-HD2 and W264BW aired content from Today's Mix, a national format on the Premium Choice network.[2]
Current programming
On August 16, 2012, translators W264BW and W292DT began simulcasting the alternative rock format on WEBN-HD2 as The Project 100.7 / 106.3. Music content for all three is programmed locally by the same Program Director as WEBN-FM, Chris Williams.
