In late February 2016, it was granted a construction permit to move all the way southwest to Columbus, Georgia, in the far west-central part of the state, to become the FM side of WOKS AM 1340, with 250 watts ERP on 97.5, at about 53 m (174 ft) in height.Ordinarily prohibited, the long-distance move is allowed under the FCC's "AM revitalization" program, which allows AM stations (but not other low-power community stations like LPFM) to take existing FM translators and the service they provide away from their current areas and use them to duplicate their own service in the same area they already serve.Originally licensed for just five (now 250) watts of effective radiated power, it is owned by Davis Broadcasting of Atlanta.It was originally permitted in 2004 and started in 2007 by Radio Assist Ministry, a company that speculatively filed for thousands of translator stations and then rented or resold them for profit.Before the FCC even approved the sale the following month, it applied for and later received a construction permit to move to the WSRV/WSBB (Cox Radio) tower between Gainesville and Atlanta, increase to the maximum translator power of 250 watts, and exponentially increase its height from 4 meters (13 ft) to 392 meters (1,286 ft).
