W210CA at 89.9 MHz is currently licensed to Birmingham, and has transmitter coordinates in Fultondale, with a 10 watt authorization to relay WAY-FM. It just received a construction permit to move to Red Mountain at 180 watts.
Normally a translator move like this wouldn't be worth mentioning, but in this case the parent station has been changed to WBHJ, 95-7 Jamz. Since a commercial station can't use a translator, the only thing I can figure is it's either A) a placeholder for another non-comm feed or B) they've got a plan to move it to the commercial band. The only commercial band frequency I figure they could move it to (after filing a second and third request to change facilities) would be 100.1 MHz.
This is the latest translator move with "possibilities" in the Birmingham market, after W294BL, which is currently on the air but hard to catch on its first-adjacent perch next to WBPT. It's currently relaying WBPT, which like WBHJ is a Cox property.
Could Cox be following in Clear Channel's footsteps and utilizing loopholes to get new FM signals on the air?
