I changed the section about interference because the FCC approved the pattern and WNIJ serves Rockford which is well over 50 miles to the west, and therefor does not seem like the most relevant information for the article. While the signal did bleed into some of the service area it was very erratically, because there was no local signal on the air in the past.
I changed this because, while the point about the location does not list where Rockford is 50 miles *from*, and because the signal bleed is quite profound. WBEW is a station in Chesterton, IN, which is 134 miles to the East of Rockford. A look at the broadcast area of WNIJ and WBEW shows that the broadcast area of WNIJ includes the Western and Northwestern suburbs of Chicago, while the broadcast area of WBEW does not. The assertion that there was no local signal on 89.5 FM is false; WNIJ is the existing local signal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.225.133.248 (talk) 2009-01-08 08:44:27
89.5 WNIJ is licensed for DeKalb, Illinois, not Rockford, Illinois; it has a translator, 105.7 W289AB, at Rockford. The probable reason the suburbs may have had trouble hearing WNIJ was that it has had sepecial temporary authority to run at only 7kW at 117.3 meters high in January 2009 (BSTA-20090114ABI) instead of its licensed 50kW at 128 meters high. Compare the normal 60dBu contour at 50kW to 60dBu contour at 7kW. Since it's now November 2010, I'm deleting the unsourced (and probably WP:OR) claim that 89.5 WBEW causes "interference" to WNIJ. --Closeapple (talk) 08:34, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
