AM 1170 WQHC Hanceville Update

W

WBGR FM 93.1

Just found a CP which was granted 8/10/12. Back when the station was on-air it was 850 watts/day, 500 watts/ critical hrs. CP is for 1kw days, and estimated to cover Hanceville, Blountsville, and Cleveland with a city grade signal. I'm assuming the format (if ever) will be Spanish due to the owners being La Promesa Foundation and the coverage area covering some of the hispanic areas of Cullman and Blount County...

Anyone else have any guesses as to what the format may be?

My understanding is it will some sort of a Catholic teaching/preaching type format similar to EWTN.

The old TX site has been long dismantled and the station had used an STA to run 10 watts into some sort of a fibreglass whip or something. Heck Travis you might've been the one to tell me that so I'm probably giving old news! The new site is just east of Hanceville.

HAHA...Yes I was the one who told you... The previous owners were the ones who were going to implement Queen of Heaven Catholic Radio when they were broadcasting a powerful 10 watts into a whip antenna. The original antenna (from the WRJL, WXRP, and WLYG) days according to google was in north Hanceville off section line Rd. However, I believe the actual site was behind the old studios down the street from Hardee's.

The new site is located very close to CR 10... aka the Hanceville-Blountsville Rd. it seems like the station changed hands from QHC to the new(er) entity.
