Don;t forget that Mobile has long been served by Pensacola Christian College's "Rejoice Radio" nationwide network's parent station, 100KW WPCS 89.5.
Not to be disrespectful of the work people have done there but if people have to be reminded that they are there, have they really been serving Mobile at all? |

I don't think Rejoice Radio serves anyone. During Hurricane Ivan they kept playing their regular programming with no weather alerts or updates what-so-ever... even after the other stations dropped off the air one by one. But when talking about the religious networks covering Alabama... Rejoice Radio is one of the larger religious networks in the US and the parent station is on one of the Baldwin County Alabama tall towers. |

Another Christian network that has a strong presence here in Alabama is Tupelo Mississippi based American Family Radio.
They have stations here in Selma, Troy, Ozark, Carrolton/Tuscaloosa area and two full powered stations that cover Mobile from the state of Mississippi.
This network has been expanding their reach for many years, as well.

P.S. And yes I'm so glad that this new K-Love station will be well outside my reach. If I was living in the Mobile area, I wouldn't listen to them anyway. My musical tastes are far more eclectic than theirs ever will be.

Are you saying they're to Christian music what Clear Channel and Cumulus are to secular music?  |

From what someone else told me, in another part of this site, their playlist is very dull. (WPHA Mr. Willie)
They tend to play the same old songs every other hour.
Personally that would bore me to death.
Gotta have some variety in my music.
Hence the reason why I have no interest for them.

Tremendous false alarm, thanks to the old GE personal radio I was first using before jumping into my car and listening to its stereo. Inside, I perked up from my computer screen, swearing I heard a liner for 107.3 Hit Music Now and new music--a simulcast on 97.5 before WABB's midnight signoff? What the...who saw that coming? It would have been a true suprise if it had been real. What I think I actually heard was a DX catch of the all new 97.3 Hit Music Now, a.k.a. the 100kW WGEX-FM of Bainbridge, GA. Gotta love analog radio tuning.  |

97.3 from Bainbridge, then WJAD, was a very common catch over here back when the dial wasn't so crowded. I don't think I've heard Bainbridge in Pensacola since before 1990. Before 1990 driving to Tallahassee, once I got to DeFuniak Springs I would loose Mobile and Pensacola stations and either change the channel to WPFM or WJAD.
Useless trivia: WJAD used to be WMGR, "Marvin Griffin Radio", co-owned with WMGR 930 AM and the Bainbridge Post Searchlight newspaper. I knew Governor Griffin, yep, former governor of the great stat of Georgia, I even have one of his custom made hats that he lost at a dove shoot.
