On Monday, Nov. 17, we were notified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) detected an aspect of our 90.1 FM signal from our transmitter was causing minor interference with local air traffic control. Out of an abundance of caution, we temporarily paused broadcasting via our 90.1 FM signal due to their request. Moody Radio’s transmitter continues to operate normally and well within our required limits. It appears that recent changes in system sensitivity on the FAA’s receiving side have made it easier for portions of nearby FM signals to be detected. Other radio stations throughout the country have encountered similar issues and are making adjustments. After extensive testing, as well as consultation with engineers from the FAA and FCC, our team is confident they have identified a permanent solution, which is expected to be implemented very soon! We are temporarily permitted to broadcast at a lower power, which means some listeners outside the Chicagoland area who normally hear WMBI 90.1 FM may not be able to at this time. The signal is expected to reach 20 miles beyond Chicago (except for the southeast area). We apologize for this temporary inconvenience, but are looking forward to fully restoring our signal as quickly as possible.
