W241AI Gorgas, AL

While updating some stuff on the site, I happened to search the FCC query for info on this station.  There's a pending application (which aren't normally discussed on ABMP) that caught my eye and is worth sharing.

W241AI is currently licensed for 10 watts on the eastern side of Birmingham, relaying Glen Iris' WGIB.  The application boosts power to 43 watts and relocates it to… wait for it… Red Mountain.  Where the parent station is to be changed to WERC-FM.  Which means, in reality, a WERC-FM HD signal.

WERC HD-2 is currently heard on a translator, relaying gospel "Hallelujah FM".  Could this be to bolster its signal, or is there an HD-3 planned with an entirely new format?
