Yakima Translator Trade Filed with the FCC
On November 26th, we completed our filings with the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) to trade the translator located on Badger Mountain south of Richland with a permit to build one serving Yakima from near Wapato. This vital step took a bit longer than we anticipated, but it required all parties to be satisfied with the terms of the trade agreement, and we are thankful that this step is now complete.
We are expecting approval of the trade by early January. This approval clears the way for us to construct the translator and be on the air by mid-January. This is close to the “must complete” deadline of mid-February, so we ask for your prayers for all to go well and that we will be broadcasting Christian Family Radio to the Yakima area and upper Yakima Valley well ahead of the deadline.
Again, we are thankful for the many that gave sacrificially for this project, and look forward to expanding the outreach of Christian Family Radio to the glory of our Lord!
