Miles College's WMWI, a new construction noncommercial station in Demopolis, has received a demotion. The original permit was for 13 kW at 407 feet and would have covered Linden, Thomaston and Linden in addition to Demopolis itself. Alas, the permit is set to expire in March and there's no sign the facility has been built. As such, a construction permit modification has just been approved by the FCC which will knock the station down to a bare minimum 100 watts at just 157 feet.
This new facility will allow them to get the station on the air quicker while reducing the coverage area to just barely covering all of Demopolis' city limits. This is a similar tactic taken by another area noncomm, WQLS in Camden. They went from 11 kW to just 400 watts to get on before the permit expired.
