Interference in Yellow Springs
I enjoy all of your programming and you are the prime button on all of my radios. However, in the past few months I find that I can only receive the station on my car radio. Up ‘til then I had good reception in my home (Yellow Springs) but now you are swamped by a religious station that is too blurry to be identified. I am certainly not an expert on FCC regulation of frequencies but something bad has happened here and I hope that there might be a way to set it right.

Program Director John Hingsbergen replies:
Thanks for writing with this concern. This is a comment we have heard before since a new station went on the air earlier this year out of South Vienna, Ohio. We assume that they are operating legally and that the interference you (and others) are experiencing is allowable within federal laws.
I am including below contact information for the Federal Communications Commission. All complaints about interference should be directed to them.
We hope you are able to resolve these reception issues and continue to enjoy WMUB's programming. I will remind you that we also provide out programming via audio streams from our website. There are some things you can try to possibly improve reception at your home. Please let me know.
