WXAL Demopolis reported back on.

Long-silent WXAL (1400 kHz, 790 watts day and night) has reported hit the airwaves again, relaying sister station WINL's country format.  WINL, WZNJ and WXAL were all bought recently by Westburg Broadcasting from the struggling West Alabama Broadcasters.  The new owners have taken to upgrading some of the technical facilities of all three stations.  WXAL in particular was reported to be in dire need of an update.

It is unknown at this time if this is merely testing, or to keep the license active, or the repairs have already been made.  WINL's popular "WIN Country" format is expected to stay, but new formats for WZNJ and WXAL are rumored.

UPDATE: WXAL is confirmed to have had all repairs done and is running full authorized power now. (6/27/2011)
