Can someone tell me what the deal is with WNWN 98.5 broadcasting on 95.5 as
well as it's regular frequency? I discovered this while searching the FM
band this morning. I thought at first that it was the radio that I was using
but when I turned on my large stereo system and punched in the duplicate
frequency I found the same station on the big radio as well.
So what's the deal? Is it my radios or are they going to put a new station
in the 95.5 spot?

It's a new station, W238AL. The numbers in the call letters mean it's a
"translator" station, authorized to rebroadcast the signals of some
other station (in this case WNWN) but not to originate programs of its
own.
Apparently WNWN doesn't feel their 98.5 transmitter has a strong enough
signal in some parts of the Portage area.
