WVPL (90.5 FM) is an American non-commercial educational radio station intended to serve the community of Dozier in Crenshaw County, Alabama. The station, established in 2011, is currently owned and operated by Alabama Christian Radio, Inc., but a sale to Townsend Broadcasting Enterprise is pending FCC approval.
WVPL broadcasts a religious radio format to the Crenshaw County, Alabama, area.
In October 2007, Old Time Gospel Ministries of Heflin, Alabama, applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a construction permit for a new broadcast radio station. The FCC granted this permit on December 15, 2008, with a scheduled expiration date of December 15, 2011.
On December 16, 2009, Old Time Gospel Ministries (owned in equal parts by Robert Jarrell, Jim Hemby, and Brandon Jarrell) contracted to sell the permits for WTBT and WEYY (88.7 FM, Tallapoosa, Georgia) to Jimmy Jarrell's Alabama Christian Radio, Inc., for a combined sale price of $1. The FCC conditionally approved the sale on February 19, 2010, and the transaction was consummated on February 22, 2010.
After construction and testing were completed in early December 2011, the station applied for its broadcast license and the FCC accepted the filing on December 16, 2011. The new station was assigned call sign "WTBT" on December 22, 2011. As of February 23, 2012[update], the Commission has taken no further action on this license application.
