Apex Broadcasting, former owner of six stations in Tuscaloosa, has been awarded a construction permit for a new station in Tuscaloosa. The station's details: 105.1 MHz, 2.6 kW, from a tower site on Romulus Road near Microwave Road in west Tuscaloosa County, at 506 feet HAAT. See the 60 dBu protected contour map here. This site was previously used by one of Apex's other stations, (then) WLXY (now WAPI-FM).
This station is short spaced to first-adjacent WACR-FM in the Columbus-West Point-Tupelo market.
An odd site effect of this permit is that it may spell the end of one of Tuscaloosa's newest FM outlets, the translator W286BV which relays AM 1230 WTBC, The River. It's also on 105.1 MHz.
