Notes/History:

7/2006: AM stereo returns

12/15/2005: Construction permit granted for major change to change community of license from Charlotte to Holt and add a second site for improved nighttime operations. The new nighttime facility would operate with 4,500 watts from a 4-tower array.

2004: Major change application filed to change city of license from Charlotte to Holt and increase nighttime power. The possibility of the move is complicated by applications for FM 92.7 to move its city of license from Charlotte to Grand Ledge (leaving Charlotte without its 'local' radio service) and a subsequent application by FM 106.1 to change its city of license from Jackson to Charlotte to backfill the potential changes to AM 1390 and FM 92.7.
