Townsquare Media has closed on its acquisitions of 1230 WTBC/100.1 W261BT Tuscaloosa and 102.9 WNPT-FM Marion AL from John Sisty Enterprises and its divestiture of 99.1 WDGM Greensboro AL to Educational Media Foundation.
With the closing the Sports format of “99.1 The Tide” WDGM has moved to 102.9 as “Tide 102.9“. The move shifts the Sports programming from the Class C3 signal of WDGM to the stronger C2 of WNPT-FM.
The “Catfish Country” Classic Country format that had been heard on all three of Sisty’s stations remains on 1230 WTBC/100.1 W261BT as “Catfish 100.1“. EMF has relaunched 99.1 WDGM under its Christian AC “K-Love” network and new WLXQ call letters.
