We're not talking flea power. For them to have both the signal strength and coverage I have noticed while driving around they are running more than 10W.
Also no one has mentioned one thing... 107.5 isn't a valid Asheville frequency because of WJMZ on 107.3 in Greenville and WIVK on 107.7 in Knoxville. Granted, there signals are a little weak (to nonexistent) in places due to terrain shading but the are there.
I do wonder what WKZL would think.
