"The Vulcan" reappears on Birmingham radio after all. In three spots!

The speculation appears to be true, at least for now, that the old "Vulcan" rock format is back in Birmingham.  And it's on three different frequencies!

First up is the translator, W276BQ, running 250 watts with an STA (Special Temporary Authority) from the same tower as WQEN and WERC-FM.  It's on 103.1 and is the main focus of the marketing, as "103.1 The Vulcan".  It's being fed by WQEN-HD2, but the rock format is also being heard on WERC-AM, too.

No idea what Clear Channel's ultimate plans are with the HD2 or AM station, as they only need one or the other to feed the translator.

  1. Gods know that Clearchannel is schizophrenic when it comes to providing Birmingham with good radio. But I'm enjoying it while it lasts!
