It ended some time in the late 90's when they switched formats. That's what I listened to all the time when I was in jr. high and high school. I remember getting aggravated because during a good song the local translator would break in with a local spot.

I don't know who ran the local translator, but it was a great idea and a great service to those of us who aren't fans of country.

KDF went country around '97 or '98 I believe. Since there is no shortage of country stations in the Shoals, the translator switched to the Birmingham rock station. I don't know if it's still up and running, but it was a huge benefit while it lasted.

I believe the station was ROCK99 @ 99.5FM in Birmingham and I wish we still had that benefit, too.

One of the translators was carrying "Fun 91" of Mississippi, I think until recently.

I believe 91.9 now has the call letters WOWL . Station in Iuka, no idea where the transmitter is.
It is re-broadcast over 102.3 up here, but a couple of months ago they must have cut their power, and now I get the 91.9 just as good.
