WENN picks up FM translator, not WAGG!

Kind of a surprise for me, but oh well, this is a surprising business sometimes.  W270BW, licensed to Haleyville, is now broadcasting from the Birmingham area, either from a site in Graysville or from atop Red Mountain.  I'm not sure since the FCC database has crapped the bed and says nothing below 91.1 MHz exists anymore.  Government for ya.

I had predicted that WAGG would take on this translator, but in a surprise move it went to 1320 WENN instead.  It's been rebooted from repeating WBHK to originating a new format called “neo soul” as “101.9 WENN, Birmingham's Neo Soul Station.”  Sweet.

Of course, this doesn't mean WAGG might not wind up on FM at some point anyway… There are still a few possibilities…
