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 uses a two tower antenna array which orients the signal to the northwest; the FM translator uses a non-directional pattern.
