NOTES:
89.3- The Kentucky Aviation Museum ran a microwatt, which could be heard at my hotel. It was all Glasgow at my aunt and uncle's house.

91.1- This translator moved to make room for a new station.

94.5- WFGZ was able to move into the Nashville market by 2012. They are now much closer to BG and probably no longer DX

97.1- Is now a K-Love station

99.9- W260?? completed the process of moving to 100.1 the weekend I was in town. This was to make room for a move-in at 99.9. I heard WVLC- Mannsville, KY in the absence of the translator. I never heard a thing on 100.1 before the translator moved there

103.5- WRBO is only a TENTATIVE catch. They had an urban Gospel show and this was heard on a Sunday morning. The regular format is R&B oldies

103.7- The Point's rock format and call letters are now on 105.3. 103.7 is now BG's third Country station

106.3- Signed on in 2012 as the new home of WOVO's (previously heard on 105.3) Top 40 format
 
You noted that 93.5 was empty. WAIN in Columbia, Ky. is on that frequency and is approximately 70 miles away. Surprised that you didn't receive it.
 
I had quite a bit of splatter from WDNS 93.3. I don't know what was up with 93.5. The splatter didn't keep me from hearing WIBC on 93.1 down there.

I forgot about the 106.5/106.3 thing. There was a lot to keep track of! Our radio dial is bland and boring, while BG was in the process of a huge frequency swap/upgrade/free-for-all.
