Super Bowl Update

MADISONVILLE, Ky. ― If the FCC gives its approval, Madisonville country station WFMW-730 AM will soon have an FM translator.

FCC records indicate that WFMW's owner, Sound Broadcasters, has reached an agreement to purchase W235AC-94.9 FM from Heartland Ministries of Hardin, Ky., for $32,000.

W235AC is currently licensed to simulcast Heartland's WVHM (Benton, Ky.).

In a separate (but related) move, the translator's transmitter will be moved to Sound Broadcasters' tower next to its studios on U.S. 41 on the north side of Madisonville.  It will also get a significant power increase ― to 170 watts from its current 19.

I'll bring you more information as soon as I have it.

High school football season is about to begin, and WFMW-730 AM in Madisonville is ready to cover Madisonville-North Hopkins Maroons football from every angle for every fan.

The station will air 10 regular season games (click here for the full schedule) beginning this Friday when the Maroons will be at Christian County. Coverage begins at 6:30 p.m. with kick-off slated for 7 p.m.

Be sure also to catch the new season of the Thursday Night Quarterback Club which also begins this week. Tim Castleberry, new Maroons head coach Brock Shoulders and others will talk about the new season starting at 6 p.m.

And if you can't be close to the radio, this season you'll have options for following the Maroons - you can also listen online at wfmw.net, or, if you have an iPhone or Android device, you can use the WFMW App available in the iTunes Store and Play Store.
