Public license information

WBIB (1110 AM) is a radio station licensed to Centreville, Alabama, and serving Bibb County. The station is owned by James Deloach. It airs a Southern Gospel music format and features some programming from the Salem Radio Network.[2] The station was assigned the WBIB call sign by the Federal Communications Commission.[3] The call letters refer to Bibb County, Alabama, where Centreville is located.

By day, WBIB is powered at 1,000 watts, using a non-directional antenna.[4] But it is a daytimer station. AM 1110 is a clear channel frequency reserved for WBT Charlotte, a Class A station. So WBIB, a Class D station, is required to go off the air at night to avoid interference. Programming is heard around the clock on 40-watt FM translator W236DX at 95.1 MHz.[5]
