W267BF (101.3 MHz, 245 watts vertical, relaying non-comm WUAL) has received its next construction permit, and as suspected, it's plunking right down in a prime spot to cover Tuscaloosa. The station will change to W265CGH as it drops down 2 notches to land at 100.9 MHz, with an even-Steven 200 watts of power. WUAL is still being listed as the parent station, but as the translator is owned by Red Mountain Broadcasting, my money's on it relaying a Clear Channel station soon. RMB is parent to a translator in Birmingham that relays "The Vulcan" active rock off a Clear Channel HD-2 feed.
Although CC does not operate any stations in HD in Tuscaloosa, they do run a few AM stations that could wind up on the FM dial. And all the CC HD stations in Birmingham easily cover the market, making it possible but not probable that the Vulcan rock format could find a home in T-Town. My bet's on them doing something with an AM: WACT's sports or a new format, or WTSK's gospel.
