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.
