New Yellowstone Public Radio Transmitter Goes Live at 89.1 FM
Oct. 23, 2011 - Yellowstone Public Radio (YPR) is now transmitting at 89.1 FM in the Helena area. The new signal is vertically polarized so it is best heard on a vertical antenna similar to your car. If you have poor reception at home you may want to purchase a vertical FM antenna with a signal amplifier.
LCPRA will continue to translate YPR on 96.7 FM through the winter, but at some point next year that frequency will be transferred to a new owner as agreed in the FCC settlement that allowed YPR to get the new transmitter.
Thanks to YPR for all their efforts to secure their signal in Helena!
