WBQE-LP
Can you provide a link to their FCC license information because W272DX licensed to New York, New York and owned by Salem Communications New York currently operates on the 102.3 FM frequency simulcasting WMCA-AM (W272DX license can be found here) You cannot have two different licensed radio stations operating on the same frequency in the same broadcast DMA. Thank you. YborCityJohn (talk) 03:31, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
- WBQE-LP's license info is here. It was licensed a couple of years before W272DX moved to that frequency from 104.5. Keep in mind that low-power FM stations have different protections related to interference than full power stations do so, while it might not be great for the LPFM, they can co-exist.

- It's odd, WBQE is licensed to Brooklyn, but broadcasts almost exclusively to Staten Island. W272DX is licensed to NYC, but broadcasts to Patterson, Hackensack, and Glen Ridge in New Jersey. It's an odd setup. All in an effort to protect a station that only makes it to Hempstead on Long Island, WBAB. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:02 on August 18, 2020 (UTC) • #WearAMask • #BlackLivesMatter
