Do you think this will replace foggy mountain on 102.5 WDXB HD 2? I think this is a high possibility. I also could go on 105.5 WERC HD 3, and has it occurred to you this will be I heart Media's ( formally clear channel's) 9th station in Birmingham. They are taking pretty much every available frequency in Birmingham and using it. The interesting thing here is this is a EMF translator, so is 92.5 in Tuscaloosa so do you think that 92.5 will end up relaying WZBQ or WTXT HD 2.
 
I haven't heard "The Possum" name since 93.3 in Huntsville was country as WPZM back in the mid 90's. Classic country has really gained popularity over the past couple of years.
 
Watched the video and i have to say that, 103.9 the possom in Montgomery ( WQKS-HD4) has a better looking logo.

There's been a habit of EMF transferring/selling the translators after the secular formats have launched. I've seen a couple of the last few months make the change. They usually wind up in the hands of Red Mountain Broadcasting, which is probably some "subsidiary" of iHeart. They are also listed as owners of an iHeart-fed unbuilt translator here in the Mobile area.

It'd be smart to use WDXB HD2 and I bet dollars to doughnuts the music will be almost EXACTLY the same, only with local Possum inserts.

Right now the 92.5 translator CP in Tuscaloosa is showing Magic 96 as the parent station. Of course that's definitely likely to change, but wouldn't it be something if iHeart used it to expand their 104.1 The Beat format to T-town? Right now the only real urban they have is 105-1 Jamz, an Apex station that's a relatively new outlet. I don't think ZBQ or TXT broadcast in HD.

That's what I'm saying using 102.5 WDXB HD 2 to feed the Possum. If I Heart wanted to expand one of their formats to Tuscaloosa, I would choose Rock 94.9 because I'm almost sure Rock 99 would have had listeners there. The reason the Parent station is Magic 96.5 now is because K Love is on the HD 3 and it is an EMF translator. ( I have thought that it would be smart for EMF to buy WALJ 105.1 for K Love to fill in gaps in coverage, put Jamz on 92.5 and K Love on 105.1) You are right about WZBQ and WTXT neither has and HD feed right now but it doesn't mean they will never. I also thought it would be smart to put the peach's oldies or WIXI's blues on 92.5.
