More translator updates. Joy.

W268BH in Montgomery leads our translator updates.  No changes to this one other than antenna model, as far as I can tell.  But it got a construction permit for the exact same facilities from the same site, so in it goes in purple.

W298BC, also in the Gump, and another antenna model change.  This is getting boring.  Stroh owns both of these, by the way.  The first one up there is relaying WVRV Pine Level, but this one's still being listed as a relay of pubcaster WVAS.  I expect that to change soon, if it hasn't already.

Still hanging 'round the capitol, we find W220DS, Snowdoun, has a change in height and power (up and down, respectively) and a change of city to Montgomery.  It's already in the city, so it doesn't actually go anywhere with this move.  Last I heard this was relaying the WAY-FM religious format.

On to Sand Mountain now, where we find W296BZ on 107.1 MHz.  This station is another in a long line of translators relaying AM stations, this time WAVU.  The translator's licensed to Blue Mountain, but is halfway up the WAVU tower in Albertville.  The AM station currently has a gospel music format.

W261AT in Dothan doesn't have any technical data to update, but I thought I'd pass along that it has passed hands from Wiregrass Media to WOOF INC.  The translator, when it returns to the air from east of Dothan, is expected to pick up sports WOOF-AM.  This translator, at 100.1 MHz, was previously known as the FM home of another AM station, oldies-oriented WEEL.
