A few updates for the first of October

First, in the LPFM world.  W286BV has received a construction permit to move from one rural area to another.  The currently licensed site is halfway between Greensboro and Moundville in Hale County.  The construction permit is for placement on the tower that currently houses WTUG and WFFN, in southern Tuscaloosa County.

Notice that neither is anywhere near the city of license, Demopolis.  Such is life for translators.

In low power digital TV, two new construction permits have been issued.  The first is for W28DX-D to Tuscaloosa.  It's authorized 2 kW from the site of WZBQ and WALN in Pickens County, south of Carrollton.  This station is licensed to King Forward, a spectrum reseller, so chances are it won't be built out unless they sell the license on to someone else.

Columbus, Georgia also scores a new entry, with W29EA-D.  This station will burn up the dial with a whopping 6 watts of authorized digital power.  Wow, I know.  It's shown to be emanating from an existing tower south of Crawford Road (US-80) west of Phenix City. It's licensed to Three Angels Broadcasting Network (3ABN) and that is likely what they will carry should it be built out.
