I was on Radio-Locator a moment ago, and by trial and error, I saw where WONA has an application to move to the Tupelo area by being licensed to Sherman. Has the move happened, or is there an anticipated time frame for it to happen?

WONA Winona moving to Tupelo?
- Thread starter golden eagles97

It's been a while since I took a look at this move, but I recall it being the result of a nifty bit of allocation engineering. "WONA" may be moving to Sherman (Tupelo), but check one of the other on-line database sites and look what CP has been granted for Vaiden, MS. Why... it's 95.1! On a very familiar tower, too 
I want to think there were one or two other moves involved -- possibly only city of license -- that made this possible.

If I remember correctly the original frequency for the new Vaiden station was supposed to be 102.1. There's a new station being built in Calhoun City at 102.3 - both owned by Valleydale Broadcasting. The Calhoun City station was wanting to move their proposed tower site which would have put it short spaced to 102.1 in Vaiden. That's were 95.1 comes in - WONA downgrades and moves to Sherman, MS and Vaiden gets to move to 95.1 on the condition that when WKZB Marion, MS upgrades to 50KW it's transmitter get moved southeast of Meridian.
