Mobile's Fox 10 news is reporting the pending sale of Jesuit-run Spring Hill College's public radio station, WHIL, to the University of Alabama. Terms have not been disclosed.
The University of Alabama currently owns and programs stations in Tuscaloosa, Florence and Selma, and is heard on translators in Decatur and Huntsville.
It is unknown if WHIL's programming will change to mirror the APR network. WHIL carries more classical and NPR news programming than APR, which has more jazz, blues and PRI/APR news/entertainment programs.
Mobile is a fairly well saturated market for public radio. Besides WHIL, most residents can hear the Mississippi Public Broadcasting station from Biloxi, plus the University of West Florida's WUWF in Pensacola.
