New AM permit for Fayette relocated to Tuscaloosa metro

Fayette received a construction permit for a new AM signal at 1490 kHz in October of last year, granted to Great South Wireless (who owns The Peach in Clanton).  That facility has just been relicensed to the community of Coker, west of Tuscaloosa.  The power (1 kW day and night) remains the same.

Coker is too small to support its own AM station, and west Alabama has lost one already in the Pickens County town of Carrollton, so expect to see this permit either expire unbuilt or get moved into Tuscaloosa proper soon.
