Ownership

In 1987, a married couple, Hundley Batts, Sr. and Dr. Virginia Caples, acquired WXKI, licensed to Minor Hill, Tennessee,. This followed their assumption of the ownership and operation of WEUP. They combined these operations and brought WEUP onto the FM broadcast airwaves.
They operated WEUP & WEUZ-FM under the parent company name of Broadcast One. They continued to expand the station's audience by acquiring WHIY and WXKI, both licensed to Moulton, Alabama, in 1989. The stations were sold to Hundley Batts and Virginia Caples as part of a two-station deal by Moulton Broadcasting Co. Inc. and Lawco FM Ltd.. WEUV was later added to the group of stations that are part of the WEUP broadcast family.
