A few TV related
tidbits were updated, reflecting upcoming changes to stations regarding
the pending UPN/WB merger. Some stations will be airing the new, combined
CW network. Other stations will pick up Fox's upcoming My Network TV; some
stations will just become independent when they lose their WB or UPN affiliation.
I had mistakenly noted WTTO (Birmingham) and WBIH (Selma-Montgomery) as
picking up the CW network. This was an error on my part. WTTO has in no
way announced affiliation with the CW as of yet. My information was incorrect,
and I apologize. WBIH is being rumored to pick up CW. I have heard this
from a few sources, and will leave it online that they may be picking up
that network. Until I hear something concrete from WTTO, I have restated
that it is only rumored that this station may switch affiliation.

Please note that
the TV & FM statewide listings have been modified. The TV pages have
been split, with analog channels (including LPTV) and digital channels
now on seperate pages. The FM pages have also been split, with "full power"
channels on one page and all the LPFM and translator stations on another
page. This should help load times on slower connections.

This is mentioned
on the info pages for WRTR and WENN, but I thought it noteworthy to post
here that I heard WENN testing early this morning on 105.5. Both 105.9
and 105.5 were carrying Hallelujah FM's gospel music. I was unable to determine
for SURE, but it sounded as if the 105.9 signal was coming from the Tuscaloosa
site. If it was, the signal was quite good in the western section of metro
Birmingham, where I received both signals. The 105.5 signal was also a
major improvement in this part of town.

locals in the Birmingham metro area. If you have some DX reports, I'd love

Added/updated
profiles for several of the Mobile area FM stations to reflect the fact
that there's been a mass shut-off of RDS signals in that market. Currently,
only "95 KSJ" offers the signal, down from at least four stations before
(WAVH, COOL 107, TK 101 and The Ticket). Southeastern Public Radio, which
operates three noncommercial stations in lower Alabama have also shut off
at least one of their RDS signals as well, on the Troy station that serves
Montgomery. This all follows an RDS shuffle that has been ongoing in the
Birmingham market, where classical WBHM had RDS for a while, then after
it went off "Magic 96" came on, only to go off a short time later. Luckily
"Buzzard", "Z-100", "The Q" and "Hallalujah FM" are all keeping RDS alive
for the thousands of aftermarket radios that decode the name, format and
time set features.
While iBiquity's
IBOC digital scheme appears dead in the water due to poor quality AM service,
it seems like a good time for all stations to start offering more "gee
whiz" to listeners, like RDS on FM and stereo on AM. Both those options
are cost effective and provide most if not all the "new" features "HD radio"
would supposedly offer, with current, deployed technology.

Made a few changes
to reflect the fact that Irondale left the Jeffco trunked system for their
old 460 MHz frequencies. Supposedly they're using encryption so no listening-in
will be possible. In other news, Birmingham is officially going to move
off SouthernLinc and onto their own trunked system, which hopefully will
be analog so scanner hounds can start tuning in again.

The website has
moved to a new server, at webpages.charter.net. Please bookmark
the new URLs! I got off of AOL because they have raised their Bring
Your Own Access rates to $15/month. Since I have FTP space with my ISP,
I decided to just move the pages to their servers. I hope this won't cause
too many disrutions. Also, due to space limitations on the new server
and my lack of free time, I've decided not to carry over Zach's Sound
Emporium, LIB! The MR2 Page or Exquisite Dead Guy's MD Trading List.
I
hope to keep the redirect page on AOL active until the end of April, so

with frames so those with non-frames browsers could see what everyone else
sees. Also, as a side-benefit, when you view pages in the hobby sections

Some media
news: WVSU, Samford University's tiny FM station, is going through some
big changes! According to the Birmingham News, Samford has launched
an all-jazz format. The station
also has a
construction permit for 500 watts of power from a new tower near Vestavia
Baptist Church.
They will
employ a directional antenna to keep from interfering with WJSR, which
is also on 91.1 MHz. The station's new direction is the doings of one Berkley
Frasier, who once owed WYDE (back when it was a country formatted AM station.)
In other news,
many of the profiles have been altered. If a station has a directional
antenna and a profile, the antenna pattern will be shown on the
data page. The transmitter location will now also pop up correctly on those
pages, too! Rather than linking to the original image of the antenna patterns
at another site, I have them copied locally. I tried to get in touch with
the site owner but had no luck. I will keep trying, and if they want me
to take them down they will disappear without warning.

Lots of changes
to report:
First,
to help with printing, I've changed all the backgrounds of the station
listings, except for the Mobile section, which will take quite a while
to finish. Backgrounds are white and letters are bold and black. This should
help keep the pages from drainging your printer's ink quite so much!
Second,
the profiles have finally been moved from the ke4oyn directory to the almediapage
directory. The links to each induvidual info or history file had to be
altered. I also changed them from absolute (http://members.aol.com/almediapage/profiles/wwww.html)
to a shorter format (profiles/wwww.html). That one single move chopped
off nearly 30 kb over the entire set of pages!
Third,
I created some new neon-y banners for each AM, FM and TV section to go
with the new white backgrounds.

not be checking the old address (ke4oyn@aol.com) more than once a week

I am leaving
the AM, FM and TV profile pages in the /ke4oyn/profiles directory for the
time being. There are over 282 profile pages (!) and at least that
many links that will need changing. I am considering various options to
better organize the profiles so I can update them easier. I will also be
attempting to get some sort of graphic representation (locally, on my site,
not offsite) of directional antenna patterns.

The Cutting
Edge of Nothing Significant | 2 March
1999
After dilligently remodeling the
look and feel of the content of the various pages within CENS, I finally
decided to update the look of the main page and subsequent "Table of Contents"
pages. While the content contained on the pages gets broader and larger,
the images are now all smaller and more compact to help keep the page loading
with a decent time. The page should now be completely compatible with any
browser that supports frames. Navigation should be easier thanks to a creative
new "Table of Contents" that keeps all web pages within a few clicks reach.
Please remember to look here first if you suspect your favorite area has
been changed! I track all major and most minor changes on this "What's
New?" page. Finally, use the "Feedback..." page if you discover something
that doesn't work. You don't even need a mail server to send me a message.
Remember I can't write you back unless you include your e-mail address,
though!
-
ABMP | 2/24/99 | Updated most
of the Birmingham FM station profiles to reflect ownership changes, changes
in the technical quality of the audio and the personality shuffles that
have been going on.
-
ABMP | 2/19/99 | Added a "data"
column to the Mobile FM section and the Columbus FM section.
-
ABMP | 2/19/99 | A major error
in some calculations was discovered and fixed. The HAAT (height above average
terrain) measurements were totally incorrect. Apparently the HAAT figures
were carried over from the earlies versions of the master list. The original
copy was mostly made from FCC data, except for the HAAT figures which,
where available, came from the Airwaves FM search page, which provides
height measurements in feet (everyone else uses meters). Those measurements
aren't HAAT. In fact, as far as I could tell, they weren't anything
plausible for many stations. (The FCC provides HAAT, height above sea level
and height above ground level figures.) So check out the HAAT figures now.
Some are quite noticeably different! This applies to the master list, as
well as the Columbus and Mobile area pages. I'll be working on the Birmingham
metro pages' profiles, so they aren't correct yet.
-
a bunch of dead useless links... |
2/14/99 | Call out the Cavalry, the links page was finally updated!
It's really nice looking if I do say so myself.
-
ABMP | 2/13/99 | The table of
contents page has been updated slightly. This should make it load slightly
faster, and it should look slightly better. Slightly.
-
ABMP | 2/13/99 | The AM and TV
master lists are pretty much updated and uploaded. Also today I added
a couple more website links. More updates were done to the Mobile and the
Gulf Coast and Columbus / Phenix City market pages. Some changes that are
upcoming include the stereo/SAP status of all TV stations on all lists
and a uniform amount of data provided across all lists for FM, AM and TV.
I'm also still working on the protected contour map links for the FM page,
so be patient!
-
ABMP | 2/ 7/99 | Updated the
master list. The page has been split into three sections, and tables are
now incorporated. The FM section is up, the AM and TV ones will follow
in the next few delays.
-
ABMP | 1/27/99 | Updated the
Alabama master list and the Birmingham section. WFMH is now WRRS. Also
updated the WFMH/WRRS profile. Updated also is the WQEN profile to reflect
the debut of Mark and Brian on Thursday.
-
ABMP | 1/17/99 | Added a new
page with information on digital television. The page contains information
about where Alabama's TV stations will wind up after they make the digital
leap.
-
ABMP | 1/17/99 | Updated the
State of Alabama master list, the Birmingham list and the WENN profile
to show WENN's return to broadcasting.
-
Media News! | 1/17/99 | WENN
is back on the air here in Birmingham, playing "Jammin' Oldies". The format
is a nice mix of R & B, funk and other classic black oldies. It's great!
The station resumed broadcasting after a brief stint off the air on Friday,
15 January 1999.
-
ABMP | 1/ 9/99 | The Mobile and
the Gulf Coast special section was updated. Special thanks to J. Alex Bowab
for helping me keep that part updated. The FM section now includes more
New Orleans stations that put a signal into the western part of the area,
and the web page links were updated. The AM section's links were also updated.
The TV section's links were updated as well.
-
ABMP | 1/ 9/99 | The Columbus
/ Phenix City special section page was updated with new links and a few
updated bits of data for FM stations.
-
Media News! | 1/ 8/99 | In a
story that makes me seriously consider waking up at 4 am to start my own
morning show in Birmingham, Rick and Bubba's salaries were announced in
the The Birmingham News in conjunction with a rather interesting
article. That fat boys will be knocking down $250,000 each at their
new digs... Yes, they're moving on up, to the east side! Well, actually
right down the street to the wonderful Dick Broadcasting headquarters.
Huh?
Yep. Rick and Bubba, who got their start on ex-Gadsden's ex Q-104 ex Q
FM then 103-7 the New Q are moving... And to a rather unlikely place at
that. How about Soft Rock 94.5? Strange combo, I know. But when
you think of it, the combo makes sense. Would you rather wake up to boring
soft rock or an energetic morning duo? I thought so. The article goes on
to state that Dick Broadcasting (Soft Rock's owner) will immediately seek
syndication. This is good news, because Dick owns some stations in Tennessee
and North Carolina. It's bad news too, though, because Dick doesn't
own anything in Tuscaloosa. So will T-town lose Rick and Bubbles? Guess
we'll find out Monday, when the fat boys debut on Soft Rock 94.5. There
was a press conference today at Jim 'N' Nicks (1 pm) announcing the move.
I wonder if Speedy and the interns will go too? I hope so.
-
Media News! | 1/ 8/99 | A small
corner box article in The Birmingham News states that a little dial
swapping will be going on January 18th between WAGG-AM 1320 and WEZN-AM
610. The gospel on WAGG will move to 610, and the big band / standards
will move to 1320. The 1320 signal doesn't have near the coverage area
the 610 one does, especially at night. Please note I've already
made the format changes on all the pages, for convenience sake.
-
Media News! | 1/ 8/99 | Well
gosh, a few weeks go by with no real news in media here in Birmingham
and now all the sudden there's all kinds of news to report! First and foremost,
the question of "what will become of WENN" looks like it's found
an answer. It's off the air! Not that many of you in the metro area would
notice, what with the pathetic signal and low ratings the station didn't
have a large listener base. So what's next? According to the article on
the front page of The Birmingham News, the station could
be back on in about a week, as soon as the owners (American General Media)
can find someone to take over operations for the station. As the article
reported, AGM doesn't have broadcast facilities in Birmingham, hence the
need for another company to actually run the station. There also seems
to be some controversy as to who the station might go to. Black radio in
Birmingham pioneer and all around nice guy Shelly Stewart offered a whopping
$3.5 million (!) for this little flea power FM, but the News article
reports that the station may go to someone else, for less money!
I personally would like to see Mr. Stewart, who does a fine job with his
small AM stereo station, WATV. Even if it is all satellite programming.

changed. Could you tell?
-
LIB! | 1/ 2/99 | Updated
the main page to reflect recent changes in mileage. The page was actually
updated 15 Dec 98, but I never FTP'ed it!
-
ABMP | 1/ 1/99 | Happy new year!
Thanks to Mr. Bowab, the Mobile special section finally got it's
much needed updates.
-
Media News! | 12/31/99 | Hot 97.3's
little publicity stunt came to fruition near the stroke of the new year
by revealing that their plans to take over another local station was joke.
Instead, it was an attention getter to promote a new contest to pay off
your bills.
-
E-Mail and Guestbook | 12/29/98 | Added
nice AOL cgi based e-mail form. The form does not requite a pop3 server.
-
Main Page | 12/29/98 | Removed the
ICQ panel and site map links. Replaced AOL cgi counter with nicer FastCounter
from Link Exchange.
-
E-Mail and Guestbook | 12/28/98 | Removed
the e-mail and guestbook from the page. Put up temporary placement page
with all the site's e-mail addresses.
-
ABMP | 12/28/98 | A grammatical error
on the main page was fixed. Dead links were removed from the state list.
-
ABMP | 12/14/98 | The main page has
been streamlined. Most graphics have been removed and more content explaining
the lists were added. The pages have all been updated to include links
to the FCC's protected contour maps. The protected contour maps are calculated
taking antenna height, type, power and terrain into effect. The signal
of an FM station is strongest within the protected contour.
-
Scan Birmingham | 12/14/98 | Many of
the pages have been updated with call sign links to the FCC database. Some
height and power requirements were updated.
-
Media News! | 12/14/98 | Reality Radio
has been on the air for a few weeks. Their sound quality is just as poor,
if not poorer, than FM-101's signal when they were a country station.
-
Media News! | 11/21/98 | As many of
you locals may have read in the paper about a week ago, WFMH (101.1) in
Cullman is moving into the Birmingham market with a Contemporary Christian
music format. They're gonna be called Reality Radio. I shall resist the
obvious joke. Their studios are located in Brookwood Village and they come
on the air officially Monday, 23 Nov 98.
-
ABMP | 11/21/98 | Updated the Alabama
master list and Birmingham list.
-
ABMP | 11/10/98 | Updated the Alabama
master list and the Mobile/Gulf Coast list.
-
Scan Birmingham | 11/10/98 | I feel
so... Special! The Scan Birmingham page won the Links
2 Go award in the frequencies category. Also, the Jefferson County
800 MHz Trunked System page was updated with even more talk group IDs!
-
Scan Birmingham | 11/ 8/98 | The Jefferson
County 800 MHz Trunked System page was updated to include more talk group
IDs. A better looking table was also constructed. I may merge all the information
into one large table when I can figure out just what the heck I'm doing
with these tables.
-
ABMP | 11/ 5/98 | Birmingham FM list
updated; WEDA's profile updated; WEDA website (under construction still)
added.
-
Media News! | 11/ 5/98 | WEDA, now
to be known as "Hot 97.3", is playing music as part of a 9,730 song commercial
free marathon. The sound quality is great and the coverage area is better
than I thought it would be. Cool, huh?
-
Media News! | 11/ 3/98 | Media news
sure has been neglected lately. I'll try to keep it up to date and interlace
it with news on this site so I can better keep track of it all. First
and foremost, WEDA (97.3 FM) is finally on the air. I caught
them on Monday with a loop/mix of "The Bitch Song" from South Park. Later
in the day it changed to one continuous loop of Ton Loc's "Wild Thing".
As of 4 am Tuesday it's still playing. I hope the sound quality gets better
when regular programming starts. There's way too much treble emphasis
now. In other news, a Birmingham News article said that WFMH (101.1 FM)
will be moving from a classic country format to a contemporary Christian
format with an emphasis on music. I would have preferred a decent rock
station but I guess we'll take whatever diversity we can get here in radio
hell. In television news, WPHX TV of Gadsden has begun carrying Pax Net.
I don't know about the rest of the city, but down here in Shelby county
their signal is pretty bad. The station is a rim shot of sorts, much like
WQEN-FM or ABC 33/40. The tower is located near Springville.
