I don't usually talk about applications to change facilities because they are so early in the process of making changes that a lot can, well, change before they're granted. But one down in Montgomery has caught my eye: W218BG on 91.5 MHz, a WAY-FM translator in the noncomm band.
They have filed an application to begin rebroadcasting commercial station WXFX and change frequency to 102.3 MHz. But for the time being, the FCC database shows a noncomm translator as relaying WXFX, a commercial station. I don't know if that's actually happening or not, but it is a curious sight since that is technically prohibited.
If all the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed and this thing gets granted, I forsee yet another AM-on-a-translator move in Alabama. The state, in my opinion, has led the way for the migration of small AM stations to FM via translators, and Montgomery is proving itself to be a magnet for translators no matter what they relay.
