WNOW (FM)

The tubas are much clearer these days.

I'm curious as to why they like tubas so much.

Question about WNOW....how are they able to keep their Gaffney license?  They've been at the Bessimer City site for months now, but that's still 'operating under construction permit.'  The main license is still apparently Gaffney.  What gives?  Seems the official COL would be Bessimer City by now and the Gaffney license would be gone.

I thought I checked the official record before updating the Wikipeida article. They've moved, haven't they?

Yes, they've been in Bessimer City since May.  Wikipedia is correct.  I don't know how they still have a Gaffney license.

The disambiguation page was wrong but I've fixed it.

For those not familiar with the concept, that's the page that has the name "WNOW" but has links to both the AM and FM stations.

Okay, I just got this message on my Wikipedia talk page:

I think if you look at the FCC's records, the CoL for [[WNOW-FM]] is still Gaffney, South Carolina. There are records for the station related to Bessemer City, NC, but they're only applications and construction permits at this point.

Another message:

Interesting board — never seen that before. I wouldn't doubt that they've actually moved to a new tower. I think it's just that, for whatever reason, the license hasn't followed yet. I think it must be an FCC thing, though. If you click on the "Station Info" link once you get into their records, it's attached to Bessemer City, but the "Application List" suggests it's still Gaffney. For what it's worth, RECNetworks has them in Bessemer City, although they run off the FCC's database, so that's odd.
