WMXB (1280 kHz, 5 kW days, 500 watts directional nights, Tuscaloosa) has received a construction permit to move to a site near Kaulton Field, east of I-359. This is south of the existing TX site in Northport near Wintzell's Oyster House. The new site will feature just one tower, with the same day power but just 35 watts of non-directional nighttime power.
It's interesting to note that WMXB has apparently been operating with just one tower for years now, despite their night authorization requiring 3 towers. It's unknown if they have been broadcasting from the original site or moved, because they have never told the FCC anything about a change in facilities.
The station is also listed as being rebroadcast on an area translator (W245BR, 96.1 MHz, 80 watts) but I've yet to hear from anyone in the area that can confirm they're on air. It's never been on when I've been through there in years past.
