How's it sound?
Reality Radio sounds so much better than when they first came on the air. Thank God (no pun intended)! The sparking highs and watery mid-range associated with someone squeezing a few too many bits from  their computer-housed music files is gone. The sound is nice and balanced and sounds like a good station should.
History:
Put on the air in 1950 by WFMH-AM as WFMH-FM. Before going to God, this station played classic country. Licensed to Cullman, the station has had a monster antenna for some time that puts a signal well into Birmingham and Huntsville both. Since becoming Reality Radio, The WFMH calls and format moved to Holly Pond FM station 95.5, who was an oldies station at the time. WFMH had an AM companion, which still serves Cullman. Before being classic country, the station ran nostalgia in mono.
