Super Bowl Update

The FCC has approved the recent application from Vincennes-based The Original Company to improve the signal and reach of WAOV-1450 AM's FM translator, W230BQ-93.9 FM (Bruceville).

While 93.9's effective radiated power will decrease from 250 to 50 watts, by raising the station's antenna from the 39-foot level to 324.8 feet above the ground, it's expected that the modified station will put a better signal into the city of Vincennes itself.

WAOV began broadcasting on 93.9 nearly two years ago.

UPDATE, 7 p.m.:  The Libertarian candidate, Bart Gadau, did not come to Vincennes for the debate.

The candidates for Indiana's 8th District U.S. House seat are scheduled to debate the issues in Vincennes at 7 p.m. CT (8 ET) this evening.

The incumbent, Republican Larry Bucshon, will face off against Democratic candidate Dave Crooks and Libertarian Bart Gadau in tonight's broadcast debate, which is sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Knox and Vigo Counties.

The debate will be held at Vincennes University and televised live on WVUT-TV 22.1 and on the radio on WVUB-91.1 FM.  Online viewers can see the debate by clicking here.
