Clear Channel Looks To Launch New Signal

[Admin]

Clear Channel could be set to launch a new signal at 96.1 very soon.

W241AF (96.1) is currently owned by Immanuel Broadcasting Network out of Cartersville, GA but the rumor is that CC struck a deal with IBN and IBN gets a spot as 103.7 HD-2 and CC gets to program 96.1 as a HD-2 side channel translator in return.

The last update by the FCC was just a few over two weeks ago (2/2/12).
