WHIY (1600 AM) is an urban contemporary gospel formatted radio station that serves Huntsville, Alabama, and the majority of the Tennessee Valley in north Alabama, United States.
Its programming is a simulcast of sister station WEUP (1700 AM). WEUP is also simulcast on WEUV (1190 AM). The WHIY call letters were on the 1190 AM signal until a 2006 re-alignment with co-owned WEUV (originally 1700 AM) and WEUP (originally 1600 AM).
Ownership
In 1987, the married couple of Hundley Batts, Sr. and Dr. Virginia Caples assumed the ownership and operation of WEUP. They also acquired another station, WEUZ-FM (92.1 FM), licensed to Minor Hill, Tennessee, and brought WEUP onto the FM broadcast airwaves. They operated WEUP & WEUZ-FM under the parent company name of Broadcast One. They continued to expand the station's audience by acquiring WHIY (1190 AM) and WEUP-FM (103.1), both licensed to Moulton, Alabama, in 1989. WEUV (1700 AM) was later added to the group of stations that are part of the WEUP broadcast family.
AM 1600
AM1600 has been off the air since early 2007. Several FCC applications are currently applying for the frequency. To keep the 500 watts at night it will take a very complex tower array.
