Two new west Alabama FMs get licenses to cover

There are two new west Alabama FMs that recently received their licenses to cover for fulltime broadcasting.  WMWI, Demopolis (88.7 MHz, 100 watts) and WKUA, Moundville (88.5, 5.5 kWV/1 watt H).  WMWI is owned and operated by Miles College and features a variety format targeting African-American tastes; it will also be used as a recruiting tool for the Birmignham-based college and also features an online component to allow people in the Birmingham area to listen.  WKUA is owned by Take Bake The Airwaves Ministries (it's unclear who has taken our airwaves away, ha ha) and features the Revocation Radio Christian rock/urban format that's also found on WKRE in Argo.  The WKUA station's directional antenna helps it cover much of the Tuscaloosa metro area.
