TV and radio stations have a designated coverage area that is limited by the transmitter power, antenna pattern, terrain, buildings, and other path impedances. FM radio is line-of-sight and your trouble area could just be in a dead spot. Note that if you expect to receive a station based on the city of license, don't. The transmitters are often far away from the official city of license. You can look up the transmitter location of a call sign on fcc.gov.

it's about 20-25miles away at 50kW

at 105MHZ that can go pretty far ....since it's on top of a mountain top

the other stations work fine and are also on this mountain top
