KCVM (93.5 FM) is a commercial radio station located in Hudson, Iowa serving the Waterloo/Cedar Falls, Iowa area. The station broadcasts an adult hits music format. KCVM is licensed to Fife Communication LC. The transmitter and broadcast tower are located northeast of Hudson. According to the Antenna Structure Registration database, the tower is tall with the FM broadcast antenna mounted at the level.〔(FCC Antenna Structure Registration database )〕 The calculated height above average terrain is . ==History== KCVM was originally broadcast on 96.1 MHz from its inception in the 1990s until July 2010. However, due to the need to protect several other stations in nearby markets from interference, the station had broadcast at an effective radiated power of 6 kilowatts with an extremely directional antenna pattern to avoid co-channel interference to stations such as KNWM in Madrid (Des Moines), KQPR in Albert Lea, Minnesota, and KMXG in Clinton (Quad Cities). KCVM was also required to protect KCHA-FM (95.9 MHz) in Charles City from adjacent-channel interference. On June 4, 2010, it was announced that KCVM would be moving from 96.1 to 93.5〔(Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier Article: KCVM 'Mix 96.1' dialing down to 93.5 )〕 and by July 22, KCVM had made the switch to 93.5 MHz; a frequency which allows the station to better serve the Cedar Valley since there are fewer stations on and near the 93.5 frequency that require protection from interference.〔(Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier Article: UPDATE: 93.5 The Mix is now on the air )〕 KCVM still broadcasts at an effective radiated power of 6 kilowatts at a height of 99 meters and is still a Class A FM radio station on 93.5, just as it was on 96.1, but the directional antenna pattern is not as severe now as it was when KCVM was broadcast on 96.1 MHz. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KCVM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
