WNOV Milwaukee goes dark due to interference complaint

Radio Multi-Media’s urban WNOV (Majic 102.5)—based at 860 AM and broadcasting to the Milwaukee FM market via translator at 102.5 from Mequon, Wis.—is off the air following complaints of interference. Northpine.com reports that Northwestern College's WNWC at 102.5 in Madison, Wis., told the FCC last year that Majic’s signal was negating its fringe-area listenership around Milwaukee. While the commission investigates, Multi-Media owner Ivan Rene Moore flipped off the FM signal a week ago, Jan. 18. WNOV already has an application with the FCC to shift the translator down the dial to 93.9, which requires a waiver, since rules typically allow a move of only up to 0.6 MHz. The AM remains on-air.
