On February 17, 2021, The Q90.1 has been authorized by the FCC to boost power of our signal to reach more people in Worcester County.
The city of Worcester and surrounding areas better serviced with a more reliable signal. This will allow The Q90.1's mission to further connect people, churches, businesses & communitiestogether with the love of Jesus Christ.
THE Q90.1's COVERAGE NOW
​
In 2014, The Q90.1 had to move it's antenna location from Bay Path School to another tower site in Chartlon. Because of that move, we lost some coverage.
​
-
We currently service the red area the best, however there's some interference.
-
The purple areas are where The Q90.1 comes in, but it's not reliable in some areas.
-
Overall, our current coverage is interferred as much as 73.77%
-
The current tower we are on obstructs our signal with debris located on the tower.
​
Currently, our strongest parts of our signal in the red, reaches 118,670 people.
