In Tuscaloosa, you can get local AC WBEI 101.7, as well as the two from Birmingham, WMJJ and WYSF. In Biloxi-Gulfport (pre-Katrina, of course), there's local AC WMJY 93.7, along with WLMG New Orleans and the two from Mobile-Pensacola, WMXC and WMEZ. <P ID="signature">______________

Neither of those stations is a standard-issue AC, and they're definitely not hot.

Y94.5 is just an absolute mess. Their broadcast day is bookended by Rick and Bubba (redneck semi-Christian morning show) and Tesh, whereas the music the rest of the day leans brighter at times and extremely soft at others and they play a good bit more CCM than any other AC I've heard recently (nothing wrong with that. They'd be better off flipping to 100% CCM and filling an underserved niche than what they're doing now.)

Magic is your average Oldies board poster's dream station. They play a lot of 60s and 70s including the very rare pre-64 song and mix appropriate 80s/90s/current cuts in. It's a fine station, just not HAC by any stretch of the imagination.

East/Northeast Alabama, OTOH, has the softer-leaning WTRB 98.3, HAC WCKS 102.7, and modern/alt-leaning WKXX 102.9, in addition to decent reception of Huntsville's WRSA and WAHR and Atlanta's WLTM.

Boy with all that slow AC stuff, the Coast could really benefit from a Hot AC station...and on top of that one that knows how to run a good HAC.
