W286BK is on in Birmingham with smooth jazz.

Translator W286BK (105.1, 10 watts vertical) is reported to be on the air in the Birmingham area, relaying WERC-FM's HD-2 smooth jazz subchannel.  The station also has a construction permit for 99 watts from the Magic 96 tower, which will blanket most of the western and central suburbs, but fall short of the areas from Hoover south, and from downtown Birmingham east.

It is not yet known if the station is on from the licensed or new facilities, or if it will keep the "Lite Jazz" format from the HD subchannel.
