WSLI is a radio station which is part of the Smile FM radio network. The callsign WSLI was first used as a television station that broadcast from January 1953 on analog channel 12 from Jackson, Mississippi.〔See Wikipedia entry for WJTV, which merged with WSLI in 1955〕 WSLI Channel 12 was acquired in 1954 by the owners of rival television station WJTV, and was merged into WJTV in 1955. Thereafter the callsign WSLI identified a radio station that served the Jackson, Mississippi market until the early 2000s. For most of its history, WSLI featured the morning show of Farmer Jim Neal and the Feist Dog, which was the top rated radio program in Jackson for over 40 years.〔http://www.msnewsnow.com/story/5621677/radios-farmer-jim-neal-dies〕〔http://billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/documents/1998/HC/HC0084SG.htm〕 The current WSLI began operation in July, 2008. With a transmitter located just west of Belding, the station covers portions of the Grand Rapids, and Ionia, Kent, and Montcalm counties. WSLI broadcasts the Smile FM programming from flagship station WLGH in Lansing. WSLI is owned by Smile FM under the official name of Superior Communications. The original Construction Permit granted on July 15, 2005 called for 10 kW from a short 98' tower. After having an application to modify to 14 kW dismissed by the FCC due to a small overlap in coverage area of WCSG, a construction permit for 11.5 Kw directional signal from a tower was approved on May 2, 2007. During the final stages of station construction the construction permit was modified to a 2.9 Kw non-directional signal from a much shorter tower in order to get the station on the air before the construction permit expired. The station was granted a construction for the originally approved power, directional pattern, and tower height on May 20, 2010. On December 27, 2010, the station began broadcasting with increased power. ==Translator== In December 2014 WSLI translator W260CQ began operation to improve coverage in Grand Rapids. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WSLI」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
