WLWI

H

Hotseat

I see it has a CP to move from the big tower in east Montgomery to Lowndes County to I guess, either the WAKA or WNCF tower. Any particular reason?
 
The permit dates back to 2009 and doesn't expire until 2012. The site in Lowndes County isn't on either the WAKA or WNCF TV towers, but east of them between Mosses and Haneyville. As far as Google satellite view shows, there isn't any existing tower at or near that site that I can see.

WLWI would see a coverage boost if they built this out, plus a move back up to a full class C facility, but it would remove some coverage in the Auburn area, which I imagine is an important place to cover. Most of the improved coverage would come in west Alabama past Selma where it's mostly trees and cows. North and south wouldn't change much, and of course to the east of Montgomery they'd lose some signal strength.
 
Don't know what reason. Reading your posts make an old childhood song come to mind though. Went something like, "There was a man who had a dog and bingo was his namo. B I N G O, B I N G O,". Rather odd, wonder if that dog now lives in the trees chasing cows in W AL?
 
They are probably not intending to build it...they are filing (IMO) to protect their full C status.....that's my guess

Orrrrr... they are getting a new tower so that another Cumulus station, maybe near ATL, can move into ATL?

Much like what happened with WBAM when Cox moved a station into BHAM.

It's certainly possible but I don't know of any Cumulus frequencies near ATL that are close to WLWI. Except the class A hip hop station in Macon, but I don't think it could go anywhere near ATL, or Columbus for that matter.
