WEUP (AM)

[2] WEUP is dubbed "Huntsville's Heritage Station" because it was the first in the region to broadcast an urban format.

The station's studios and transmitter are both co-located along Jordan Lane (SR 53) in Northwest Huntsville.

On March 17, 1997 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that eighty-eight stations had been given permission to move to newly available "Expanded Band" transmitting frequencies, ranging from 1610 to 1700 kHz, with the original WEUP authorized to move from 1600 to 1700 kHz.

[3] A construction permit for the expanded band station was assigned the call letters WEUV on August 7, 2000.

One restriction is that the FCC has generally required paired original and expanded band stations to remain under common ownership.
