In
1987 , a married couple, Hundley Batts, Sr. and Dr. Virginia Caples, acquired WXKI (92.1 FM, now WEUZ-FM), licensed toMinor Hill, Tennessee , (just north of the Alabama border). This followed their assumption of the ownership and operation ofWEUP (AM) . 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 (1190 AM, now
WEUV ) and WXKI (103.1 FM, now WEUP-FM), both licensed toMoulton, 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. (WHIY) and Lawco FM Ltd. (WXKI).
