The network also includes 24 affiliates in the U.S. states of Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania: fifteen AM stations, ten of which supplement their signals with low-power FM translators; seven full-power FM stations; and one HD Radio subchannel that supplement its signal with a low-power FM translator.
