WCMC FM FM filed A CP?

A

A 94Z Fan

I read this on radiostationworld.com that 99.9 WCMC in Raleigh has filed a CP to move the antenna and upgrade their power and change the city license to Holly Springs, NC while WKXB 99.9 Wilmingtion, has filed a CP to downgrade their power and change the city license to Bowling Springs, Lake Wilmington aswell.  This was according to radiostationworld.com.
 
This and the WRVA-FM CP are connected. According to FCC application data, WCMC 99.9 FM seeks to move its city of license from Creedmoor to Holly Springs, while moving its actual transmitting facilities , very likely, to one of the two 2,000-foot Capitol Broadcasting towers in Auburn with a power of 26.5 kW. Since WCMC is, on paper, Creedmoor's only station, another must move in to allow the Holly Springs move. Enter Wake Forest daytimer WDRU 1030 AM, which has applied to move its city of license to Creedmoor. WRVA-FM 100.7wants to move its city of license from Rocky Mount to Wake Forest. Rocky Mount has enough licensed stations not to worry about having to have another station move there to take WRVA-FM's place. Neither 1030 AM or 100.7 FM will change their actual facilities. Capitol Broadcasting now owns co-channel WKXB in Burgaw, which will, as noted, downgrade and be relicensed to Boiling Spring Lakes, NC.

  I heard once that WRVA FM will use WRDU old tower as a back up tower once WRDU makes the move to Auburn.
 
The WRVA-FM and WRDU (Wilson-licensed) sites are fairly close together near Middlesex, NC. Clear Channel is going to be incurring lots of expenses for back-up sites between the old 'RDU site and the two towers at Terrel's Mountain that once supported WDCG and WKSL. For the sake of their their bottom line, I sure hope they have other tenants (other broadcasters, land mobile, police/fire/EMS, NWS, etc) either already using or lined up to take advantage of their surplus vertical real estate (assuming they own all or some of these three sites). WRAY-TV 30/DT 42 is on one of the Middlesex towers, but I'm not sure which one.
 
Don't forget their is a Ham Radio Repeater on top of the WRDU tower. Dose Clear Channle own that?
