Bott Broadcasting and WCRT

passtheword

passtheword

Just came from the FCC website where I noticed that WAMB has moved to 1200 and the 1160 frequency has changed calls to WCRT (yeah, I know that's been a couple of months back, but I'm from Birmingham here, just browsing the boards). :)

Anyhow, I thought that was interesting since the WCRT calls used to be here in Birmingham for about 30 years. I had written a webpage of a little bit of history on WCRT yesterday, and I had come across this info today (by accident) about the call letter change for 1160 to WCRT (the calls have been on a non-comm in Terre Haute, Indiana for several years, too).

I used to listen to WAMB when I would be up in the Huntsville/northern Alabama area. It's a unique station, and I'm surprised it's survived all these years.
Just wondering...did Bott Broadcasting purchase just the 1160 frequency?

Here's a little snippet of history on Birmingham's WCRT, if you're interested.

Yes, They just acquired the frequency, along with the FM translator. The WAMB programming moved to 1200.
