Come August, WQKS adds HD digital, Montgomery gets two stations out of it

WQKS in scheduled to add HD digital broadcasting to their signal this August, and with it comes two HD subchannels being fed to area translators.

The HD-2 is feeding W263BX (100.5, 80 watts) with soft adult contemporary as "Lite 100.5".

The HD-3 is feeding W296AI (107.1, 38 horizontal watts, but with a permit to rise to 99 watts) with classic hip-hop and R&B as "Yo! 107.1".

Although Montgomery will have only four local FMs broadcasting HD, it will have eight subchannels since each runs two extra stations.

The other HD stations in town, already on the air:

WTSU in Troy runs Classical 24 on their HD-2 and BBC World Service on HD-3.
WVAS runs a mix of classic R&B and other music and current affairs on their HD-2 and gospel and R&B on the HD-3.
WXFX relays two AMs: WMSP on HD-2 and WLWI on HD-3.

EDIT: This post has been updated from its original form to correct the mistaken assumption that these stations were already on.  They will come on sometime in August, according to industry sources.  My apologies for any confusion.
