My initial gut reaction was wondering whether the Livesays might have something to do with this station (the infamous current WLBH Mattoon owners and the former operators of WHOW in Clinton--of which the latter station lacked phone service during the waning years of their "ownership" during the early 2000's).

The same WLBH FM that now has a 200 watt translator 2 channels away from it that gets out farther than WLBH's 50,000 watts? One has to wonder if WLBH hasn't figured out that running the exciter costs a lot less than running the whole transmitter. Been this way for years...and the Clinton FM was reportedly the same way before it was sold.
 
I recall listening to WHOW back in those days. It was so awful, I airchecked the station for a couple of hours. I even called the Chamber of Commerce in Clinton that had was very interesting details on the station. It was amazing such a great pair of stations had fallen to that point. I recall the FCC made the new owner go through all sorts of engineering studies to get the station back up.
