Translator W244CN, license to Enterprise, is on the move again. The current (likely unbuilt) facility is actually in the Snowdoun community south of Montgomery, and is licensed for 250 watts vertical on 96.7 MHz. The new construction permit just issued will throw the translator clear over Montgomery, to a spot between Elmore and Wetumpka. The power will be 250 watts and it'll move down a click to 96.5 MHz, which is sure to anger the few listeners of Birmingham's Magic 96 down that way.
Also of interest is the station being relayed is changing, from American Family Radio station WAQG out of Ozark to Troy University's pubcaster WTBF. It's not unusual to see a translator list a public outlet like this before being transferred to relay a local AM signal, but it's also possible that WTBF could use this, as their signal begins to degrade once you get north of Montgomery. Another possibility is relaying one of the station's HD subchannels (HD-2 is Classical 24 and HD-3 is BBC World Service, but that could always change.)
Still, the prospect of them relaying another AM signal is most likely. Stay tuned!
