WDCN-LP

WDCN-LP is a low-power television station in the Washington, D.C. area, broadcasting locally on channel 6. The station promotes itself as a Spanish-language contemporary hit radio station, branded as "La Nueva 87.7". 87.75 MHz FM is the center frequency of television channel 6's audio signal, which can be received on most FM radios and thus makes a music format viable; FCC regulations only require that a television station broadcast some kind of video content, not that the video and audio content are related.[1]

From 2010 through 2012, WDCN-LP was the home for Spanish-language broadcasts of D.C. United soccer games. WDCN-LP carried all of the team's games, including those not broadcast on television.[3]

Since the 2019 NFL season, WDCN-LP is the flagship Spanish-language radio station of the NFL's Baltimore Ravens.[4]

gollark: Also shortish-range communication.
gollark: I mean, if they could be made small and self-powered/low-maintenence, it might be workable.
gollark: Which means accurately made lenses and stuff too, I guess?
gollark: I also had the idea of Discworld-style semaphore-tower networks driven by magical systems instead of human operators, but that would probably also be too complex to implement.
gollark: I see. It's kind of hard trying to figure out what sort of modern stuff would work in a world where most of the stuff we kind of assume exists doesn't.
