That depends on how much signal you're getting at the antenna. Every time you add another splitter, you will lose a certain amount of signal. If you have splitters for three radios now, the one nearest the first splitter (and therefore nearest the antenna) will get the most signal, the second will get a little less, and the third will get the weakest signal. I don't know how far you are from Columbus, but if you are in a weak signal area your third radio could get so little signal it won't work well. If you are in a fringe or near-fringe FM reception area for Columbus stations, you may need to use an amplifier ahead of the antenna, but remember that even an amplified signal will be weakened by every splitter it goes through on the way to the radio; long coax runs will weaken the signal as well.
BTW, I looked at the Columbus-area FM radio station listings on RadioStationWorld.com yesterday but could not find any NPR stations on 90.7 in that city, or anywhere nearby. Is your so-called "local" 90.7 NPR station in the city itself, in a suburb, or is the station a translator (satellite repeater) for another NPR station in town?
