In my last video about WEYS-LD, I showed the analog FM signal on 87.75 MHz on a Roku TV. What I didn’t show was the behind the scenes that made this happen. Believe it or not, it wasn’t as easy as simply scanning for channels. Watch this video to find out more.
This TV station is an RF6 ATSC 3.0 station with an FM signal at 87.75 MHz. 87.75 MHz was where the audio signal was plotted for NTSC broadcasts on RF6.
RF6 TV stations operating primarily for FM radio on 87.7 are known by the FCC as "FM6" operations. By law, these stations have to utilize their entire 6MHz channel. NTSC broadcasts were mandated by the FCC to cease operations as of July 13, 2021 (excluding Alaska). This was a challenge for FM6 operators as their listeners were used to tuning their FM dial to 87.7 FM. Many FM6 operators had decades of branding surrounding their 87.7 placement. The compromise (as of now) is to operate a hybrid ATSC 3.0 and FM station within the 6MHz RF6 channel under STA with the FCC.
WEYS-LD is an example of just that.
WEYS-LD is an Almavision Owned & Operated Franken FM ATSC 3.0 TV station in Miami, FL, broadcasting Spanish-language religious programming.
