Another translator story: W265CG

I've been following this translator from when it left Demopolis as it headed up the highway towards Tuscaloosa. Previously on 101.3 MHz, the latest CP puts it on 100.9 MHz with 200 watts from the old WDBB-TV tower off Jug Factory Road. They might as well rename it Translator Highway at this point because I think most of Tuscaloosa's translators are located up there.

Anywho, the ownership is Red Mountain Broadcasting, which tells me it's gonna relay a Clear Channel property eventually. The question is, which one? CC relays one of the HD-2 formats through a RMB-owned translator in B'ham, but CC operates no HD I know of in Tuscaloosa. They do, however, have two AMs if I remember correctly. There's ratings performer WTSK with gospel, and the floundering WACT, which I don't think even showed up in the 12+ last book.

Anyone got any ideas? :)
 
Wouldn't it make sense for this station to be another relay of the Vulcan? Active rock would certainly have a lot of appeal to the college crowd in T-Town, and it certainly would fill a format hole in the market, since the local FMs are Urban AC, CHR, Country, Country (again), Sports, Hot AC, Jack, and News/Talk.
 
Do any HD-2's (or AM's for that matter) out there have 2 different translators relaying their programming?
