Hot Off the Press (More Info Concering Rev. Glenn King and His New Station)

R

R.D.P.

Just got this info from the previous owner of W232AN 94.3 FM: Rev. King and I talked Friday. He said his engineer was instructed by the eingneer's mutual client (the Jemison station owner) , to file the Jemsion station as the re-broadcast station in order to get King's station on by tomorrow and so that the Jemison station could sell some advertising in Selma that would be heard on 94.3. King said this was done without his permission and he did not give approval. He said he was going to get his engineer to re-submit the application and show WMBV as his station to re-broadcast. He was quickly having a small tower/antenna ereted on two buildings on Washington Street to serve as broadcast location. Will see. King and I are to meet this Wednesday.

Sent from Rob Moore, owner of WMBV 91.9 FM Dixons Mills, WMBU 89.1 FM Lake/Jackson Mississippi, WMFT 88.9 FM Tuscaloosa and WRNF 89.5 Selma and former owner of this translator station.

P.S. For those that did respond to that last post, I want to say thanks for your responses. I appreciate it very much. Once I get any new info, I'll pass it along.
 
For the latest info, here it is:

From Mr. Rob Moore,

Rev. King showed me where he was installing a short tower on Washington Street (about 60 ft.) to repeat WMBV and will build a higher tower there (120 feet later). He is just trying to get on the air. Rev. King plans to carry some preaching on 94.3 but now his future plans are to carry preaching plus an R & B network from Biloxi. I believe what you hear on AM 1310 is what he hopes to eventually put on 94.3 FM. That may never happen unless the FCC rules to let him repeat his AM station on FM. Rev. King is well-liked among many whites and blacks in Selma. He ran for Mayor against James Perkins and lost however. He was the first black to integrate into the Selma white schools in the late 60’s.

WRNF may sign-on as early as late this afternoon at 89.5 FM!!!

As of this posting, WRNF isn't on. However 94.3 is on again. Although this station may not be the best sounding and most powerful, I'm glad it's here.

The bigger version, of Moody, is forthcoming. When it signs on, I'll let you know.

I'm praying that Rev. King will have success with this new station and help bring a real revival to my hometown of Selma Alabama.

God bless you Mr. King for bringing this station to Selma. It may not be much but its something and that's better than nothing.
