- History:
- The company LAWCO FM, Inc.
was granted an original construction permit for this station in 1991,
and signed it on in 1992, as a class A FM companion to their AM,
WHIY. The original calls were WXKI, and it simulcast the AM's
mix of Classic and Contemporary Country music. The transmitter
site was located on the northeast side of Moulton to better reach the
larger Decatur market.
The station was sold to husband and wife insurance team Hundley Batts
Sr. and Virginia Caples in 1999 for $775,000, along with the sister
AM. They flipped both stations, and this one took on the
heritage WEUP-FM calls and Hip-Hop format
from AM 1600 in Huntsville.
In 2000, the station signed on an upgraded, bigger signal from the
present-day tower site southeast of Moulton. Marketed as
"103-EUP" the station simulcast with several other Tennessee Valley AM
and FM signals to fully reach the entire Huntsville market.
Long owned by
Huntsville insurance team Hundley Batts, Sr. and Virginia Caples,
ownership was transferred to their company, Broadcast One, Inc., in
March 2019 after the death of Caples.
Both WEUP and WEUP-FM were taken off the air in August 2026 due to
storm damage, however neither station filed the required Silent STA
notices with the FCC so it went unnoticed until mid-September 2026
when local TV news reported the long-term outage (story linked
above). Later it was confirmed that the stations are
technically on the air, just with no programming, only dead
air. On 14 September 2026 it was noted the station had finally
been taken completely off the air.
