Roger on that. If you can't prove it, don't try it. Besides, sounds like that'd mean the rural town which was the present COL, wouldn't have that (maybe any) radio station serving it.

I remember listening to Hoyt Herbert's Bluegrass show, which was first (I believe) on Friday nights, then moved to Sunday nights, in the NC Piedmont, most every week and even when visiting family in the Boone metro. Reckon I may have heard him in the Shelby area as well, but I was probably trying to call Hello Henry LOL. Well, I called him a time or two in Greensboro, even going back to the 'BIG simulcast days, but I'm rambling more than normal, now. I tuned into the station (FMX) other times, but that memory just jumped out at me. https://www.discogs.com/artist/4179...hbn18FO8vvPkBY1Y-NjK0GsFjiudbQm2wTevObSBcqg_a
They aren't in Greensboro, I believe they're licensed to Clemons, if memory serves. Oh and speaking of the old WFMX, I am told that Garland Faw used to have a Sunday night broadcast on there, back when he was in Chattanooga and had The Eleventh Hour Singers. Of course, he was originally from the area and an active member of Landis Baptist Church in Landis, NC, until moving to Chattanooga for school and that first pastorate.
Good points, but 'TQR is licensed to Winston-Salem, The Camel City, as some folk have called it over the years.
The old WFMX tower is still standing outside of Statesville, WSIC has a translator there, and I think there's some TV translators on the tower as well.
WTQR was moved out of Winston-Salm years ago, and the market is called Greensboro.
The City of License for WTQR is Winston Salem. Transmitter is on Sauratown Mt.

When was 'TQR moved out of Winston and is licensed to Greensboro, now? Yes, GSO is the market, just thought you were referencing the COL, which, as far as I knew/know, is Winston-Salem, going on current mental info.
LOL, thanks for the info. First place I ever heard of that mountain, was WXL42, back in the live (recorded) weather loop days, yeah buddy!
No, no change in city of license. I misread that. WPAW and WKZL are licensed to Winston-Salem as well. And when I was in college, those were the top two stations.
WXII has its tower there, which is why I haven't been able to watch since 2009.
The really old tower, you mean.
I wasn't aware it was still standing. I assumed if WFMX didn't want it, it wouldn't still be there.
So this isn't the one beside I-40 on the north side of Statesville you are referring to.
Gotcha, thanks. If memory serves, I believe 93.1's first call I remember, was WSAZ, Z93. They they were WMQX as AC, then Oldies. All the time I've known 107.5, it's always been 'KZL. I've seen they were the old WSGH, though. First (and only) place I've seen that call, is 1040 licensed to Lewisville, from like '86 or '87 on.
Huh? That tower is where WXL42 is located. My Pawpaw, who lived in the Shelby metro part of the time when I was a kid, used to watch 'XII every Sunday morning, Earl Carney's (sp) Southern Gospel music show.
