Programming
WKUA broadcasts a religious radio format in conjunction with sister station WKRE (88.1 FM, Argo, Alabama).[1]
History
In October 2007, Kenneth M. Layton's TBTA Ministries of Irondale, Alabama, applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a construction permit for a new broadcast radio station. The FCC granted this permit on February 3, 2009, with a scheduled expiration date of February 3, 2012.[2]
In May 2009, TBTA Ministries contracted to transfer the permit for this station to Jimmy Jarrell's Alabama Christian Radio, Inc. The FCC conditionally approved the deal on July 16, 2009, but the transaction was apparently never consummated.[3]
The new station was assigned call sign "WKUA" on December 21, 2011.[4] After construction and testing were completed, the station applied for its broadcast license on February 3, 2012.[5] The Commission accepted the application for filing on February 6, 2012, but as of February 22, 2012[update], they have taken no further action.[5]
