WLAY is being reported back on in the Shoals area. They lost the lease to their transmitter site's land last year and have been looking for suitable tower space ever since. The new signal appears to be originating from a temporary wire antenna at the WLAY studios in Sheffield, near the Helen Keller Public Library. Although a Special Temporary Authority shows them using 1,000 watts, the temporary setup is producing a weaker than licensed signal so reception will likely be difficult for people outside the very-immediate area. Still, a weak signal is better than no signal at all.
No word yet on whether the FM translator at 92.3 MHz has come back on as well, or is still off. It had been transmitting from the AM stick with 225 watts, but also received a STA in February of this year to broadcast from the same temporary location as the AM.
