How's it sound?
The sound quality of this station is pretty good, most of the noise seems to come off the network feed itself.
History:
One of the more recent dial-additions to Birmingham radio, this station was put on the air by Briarwood Presbyterian Church. It was originally only to be 10 watts and located at the church campus off I-459, and was going to be a small outlet to bring church services to those who couldn't get out to church in the immediate area. The power was increased and the transmitter put high atop Oak Mountain to reach more people with network programming, though.
