Cumulus is bring the WXQ's into their fold, and CC has already said that the oldies format is moving to WLAY. So, Cumulus gets to play around with their new toys. If I were a betting man, I'd say they split 'em up...maybe give WVNN an FM signal so it can get past the edge of the station's driveway at night, and put a Classic Hits station on the other one.<P ID="signature">______________

Just as long as it isn't another form of urban or AC... Bring back WAZK!
The Valley's W-A-Z-K - 92.5 Rock
But CC doesn't own WLAY anymore, unless they just agreed with URBan to let them control it until they move it, or they buy it back, I just don't see 100.3 moving anywhere under CC

Clear Channel Sells Huntsville Simulcast to Cumulus
CLEAR CHANNEL is selling a simulcast pair serving the HUNTSVILLE, AL to CUMULUS for $3.3 million. Oldies WWXQ/TRINITY-HUNTSVILLE and its simulcast partner WXQW/MERIDIANVILLE (KOOL 94.1) will go to CUMULUS in the deal, which also involves the move of CUMULUS' Urban AC WHRP/TULLAHOMA-HUNTSVILLE (downgrading from a Class C1 to a Class C2 with new city of license NEW MARKET) on the tower of CLEAR CHANNEL's Country WDRM/HUNTSVILLE, and requires CUMULUS to not object to the move-in of CLEAR CHANNEL's WLAY/TUSCUMBIA-FLORENCE to the HUNTSVILLE market (using WXQW's city of license, MERIDIANVILLE; WXQW has applied to move its COL to GURLEY). <P ID="signature">______________

Here are the latest rumors from the great frozen north(west). Take 'em with a grain of salt, please.........
Two schools of thought regarding WLAY-FM... (1)Agreement exists between Urban and CC which set a sale of 100.3 back to CC if the FCC allowed the move. (2) FCC ruling came down after the sale finalized and now CC is re-buying 100.3 from Urban in order to move it. Could be either of these or none of them. I don't know first hand.
A 100.3 move out of Tuscumbia would not nessessarily be the end of picking up the signal here in the great Northwest. It would be a strong rim-shot signal which would cover most of the Shoals east of Tuscumbia. West of there would be scattershot at best. Country on 100.3 is a moneymaker now and a projected move to oldies might do ok in Huntsvegas, but would get killed in the Shoals (if they place 100.3 in the Shoals book) in competition with the 107.3 "play whetever" format.
Personally, I would like to see WVNN or WUMP on 92.5 as we can barely get them here in NW AL on the AM dial. A strong news station that doesn't suffer from AM nighttime blues and still covers Huntsville would be a $$$ maker. Not the strongest of signals, but it does cover N. ALA except for the extreme corners.
I can't get 94.1 from Meridianville at all, so I could care less if they program Nordic Female Yodeling
I love Active/ Alternative rock boocoos but a change to a Alt rock format is not going to happen as North Alabama has never been a real strong Rock market. When KDF (and the translators) died, it took Rock with it to the grave. It will be back, but not soon.

at 8.5kw it would probably be slightly stronger than WVNA comes in over here at night after WYTM signs off, It certainly will no longer be a 100kw signal, being that it is closer to the whole WWWQ / WRAX 100.5 war zone, I'm also wondering if anything will change with the translators over here, mainly 100.1 in Athens (translator for WHRP, and 100.7 in Huntsville (for APR, formerly for 102-9 The Buzz) I think moving WTAK to 100.3 and Kool to 106 would be better off, Oldies or whatever they call it this week, no matter the signal it is on is just fading away, i'm suprised 92/94 has even lasted this long, Moving the rimshot classic rocker with a 5.4kw signal into Huntsville (100.3 will supposedly be on the WDRM tower) would help TAK more than it would kool i'm sure, but the downside to that is it would eliminate the southern part of TAK's current coverage due to WRAX and all, But WZRR covers most of that area anyway<P ID="signature">______________
