W250BC FM 97.9 is a radio station located in Atlanta, Georgia, and has Riverdale, Georgia (a southern suburb) as its city of license.
Although licensed as a broadcast translator prohibited from carrying its own programming, it broadcasts under a legal loophole allowed by the Federal Communications Commission, by simulcasting on HD Radio channel 3 of WWWQ FM 99.7, allowing such stations to sidestep the restriction on translators, as well as regulations regarding the excessive concentration of media ownership by a single company in a given media market.
It has a power of 250 watts but at great height, and is transmitted from a major broadcast tower near North Druid Hills along with several other FM and TV stations. It has a broadcast range of approximately 20–25 miles (30–40 km), depending on how weather and other factors affect radio propagation conditions of other distant stations that can cause interference.
