translator questions

firepoint525

Back in the '90s, WNAZ had a translator in Centerville. They turned it off when they put WNRZ on the air in Dickson. At the time, I believe that they had plans to place this translator on the air in some other location. Did they ever do so? And it seems like with the translator removed from Centerville, that its former frequency dial position might have become available for someone else to use. Did anyone ever take over that dial position? (Don't remember the frequency.) When Trevecca sold WNAZ to Bott, was that translator part of the deal as well? (Since Trevecca apparently got out of the broadcasting business, seems like they wouldn't need it anymore.)
 
firepoint here's some info I located that may help

WECV is a radio station operated by Bott Radio Network, with a Christian talk/teaching format.

Until 2011, the station was owned by Trevecca Nazarene University, and played Contemporary Christian music.

A key figure in the station's history is former General Manager David Deese. Deese, who still teaches at the university, led the radio station as a student, the faculty member. He was able to increase the station's transmission power on a couple of occasions and helped the university purchase 760 AM WENO and later put WNRZ in Dickson on the air.

WNRZ is located at 91.5 FM and simulcasts WECV's programming. WNRZ was launched by Trevecca to help cover the western part of Middle Tennessee. Its signal reaches from near the Tennessee River to the Western parts of Nashville. WECV is also simulcast on translator stations 93.9 in Gallatin, 101.9 in Lebanon, and 99.5 in Clarksville.

In the fall of 2010, Trevecca Nazarene University announced the sale of WNAZ, WNRZ and its translator stations to Bott Radio Network. On February 18, 2011 at noon, the station was transferred to Bott, at which time it began airing Bott Radio Network programming. The WNAZ call letters were officially changed to WECV several days later.
 
The Clarksville translator needs help. The tower located on the west side of town and only covers about 1/4 of the city limits. The station is unlistenable as you drive across town.
