Answer: HD radio technology broadcasts digitally over traditional radio waves.

Answer: No, WMBW will stay the same.

No, you will not need a new radio to listen to 88.9 FM WMBW. The channel will continue broadcasting in analog as it has since 1973. Adding HD will be in addition to our regular analog broadcast. Your analog radio will still receive 88.9 FM, WMBW as normal.

Answer: No, WMBW’s coverage area will stay the same.

Answer:

• HD 1 – HD simulcast of 88.9 WMBW
• HD 2 – Radio Moody (Moody Radio in Spanish)
• HD 3 – Urban Praise (Gospel Music)
• HD 4 – Hope Media (Praise and Worship Music)

Answer: Moody Radio is honored to partner with Christian radio ministry, Hope Media Group (hopemediagroup.com), who needed a frequency in Chattanooga to keep their FM transmitters on the air. By leasing HD 4 to them, 88.9 Moody Radio is partnering with a like-minded Christian radio ministry to expand the reach of our broadcast tower and frequencies, allowing us to reach more individuals across the Tennessee Valley on additional radio channels for the sake of the gospel.
