One of the translators carries the Pike Road station.

Ahh.. well.. the world is changing. If a translator is carrying Sports as a "secondary service" should that influence the programming choices on a real FM station or should they just ignore it and let the translators continue to pick up the scraps?

Coverage shortages aside, does the end listener really know the difference between a translator and a full power station? I doubt it. If the translator is big enough to cover the main population center, it will probably sap listeners away from other stations regardless of its lack of power.
 
of the existing translators, seems like 107.5 has the best coverage - eastward to Shorter, northeastward to Wetumpka on the SW side of the moon crater hill, most of Millbrook and central Prattville as well.

I second the guess of Spanish on 93.1 - supposedly the Sunday afternoon / night Hispanic music and talk show on 95.7 / 1250 has a following. My, heh, second guess, would be Urban Oldies - like the original 104.3 FM WMHS (Montgomery's Heart and Soul) before it became the oldies outlet.
 
Stray, have you heard the new 104.9 signal? Listening to it in stereo in eclectic and at skies an Kahn. Also at Victoryland. Pretty solid.
 
I might be able to get it more often too.

Anything is possible with a translator station. 

Especially when it has 250 watts of power and the antenna is located in a very high spot.

Those type of stations have a huge coverage area and great sound quality too.

Hope 104.9 FM will be a easy catch for me next time I'm surfing the dial, in my work truck, for something different to listen to.

If I can get 104.9 FM, here in Selma, then I'll be impressed with this station too.

Keep up the good work Bluewater.  Still love your presentation.  It rocks!  ;)

P.S. To Mr. StayKats, 107.5 FM The Ticket Montgomery can also be heard here in Selma too. When the winds are blowing right and WVFG from Uniontown isn't coming in too good, The Ticket will kick on in and sound just like a local radio station.
 
How about this for 93.1: Stroh Communications works out an LMA arrangement so WVRV/The River can move to the new Coosada station, giving it a serious presence in metro Montgomery. It'd also have an easier time attracting River Region listeners and advertising.

It just doesn't seem like The River is bound to do much commercially at 97.5/101.5. I'd re-launch this pair as a Troy-friendly rock station, or perhaps sports talk (but borrowing from more from WOOF 560 Dothan than WJOX Birmingham).
 
Well, if that doesn't scream "104.9 The Gump to a full-market signal!", I don't know what does.
