More Tuscaloosa Changes: The Return of WACT

[passtheword]

After a five month hiatus, Clear Channel has dropped the WENN calls on 1420 and gone back to WACT. Just found this online sort of by accident doing a search for Tuscaloosa on radio-locator.com. AM 1420 was listed as WACT, and I thought that I had seen the calls updated to WENN a while back on the site. So...I did a little research on the FCC database, and the WACT calls have indeed returned as of last week (Feb 25). A search on the database for both AM and FM stations revealed no records for "WENN" (I couldn't find the WENN calls doing a TV query either, either). Looks as though CC might not have been holding the WENN calls to place elsewhere after all.

According to their website, WACT is also simulcasting/sharing WERC shows in the mornings and the afternoons--both the Steve & Leah show from 6-11am and Dominck Brascia from 2-6pm. That's more than ten hours. And a second run of Rick & Bubba in T-town? Smells like to-the-bone budget cuts. :-\
