We call it “Lake Havasu City” on the site, but the stations listed here stretch out for more than 150 miles along the Colorado River and into northern Arizona, all the way from the searing desert heat of Blythe, California and Parker, Arizona up through Lake Havasu City itself, past Needles, California into the Bullhead City, AZ/Laughlin, NV twin cities straddling the river, and then eastward to Kingman, Arizona and the little towns for which Kingman is the business center, all the way out old Route 66 to Seligman.
Why lump this whole mess together as a single market? Translators, that’s why: whether they’re licensed to Lake Havasu or Cal-Nev-Ari or Kingman, a whole bunch of the stations in this area depend on translators to be heard throughout the region. In this week’s update, we fill in some of the gaps around Kingman at the northern end of the market from our 2011 trip.
