FM Translator[]

KLGZ relays programming to an FM translator in order to widen the coverage area and also to provide listeners with the stereophonic high fidelity sound of FM. KLGZ (AM) uses a two tower antenna array which orients the signal to the northwest; the fm translator uses a non-directional pattern.
