Public license information

WELB (1350 AM) was a radio station licensed to serve the community of Elba, Alabama, United States. The station operated from 1958 to 2022 and was last owned by Rhett S. Snellgrove, airing a Southern Gospel music format.[2]

WELB began broadcasting on November 16, 1958. It was owned by Howard Parrish Jr., associated with station WOZK in Ozark, and began as a 1,000-watt, daytime-only outlet.[3] Less than a year later, it was sold to Jim Dowdy and Jim Wilson.[4][5] Ivy Jackson King Jr. and Frances King, of Opp, acquired WELB in 1964.[6][5]

William "Doug" Holderfield purchased WELB in 1969;[5] he ran the station through 2008, until selling to Rhett Snellgrove for $60,000.[7] Derek Snellgrove had worked at the station since the age of 15. Holderfield, in addition to WELB, started WZTZ (later WVVL) in 1986; he was the longtime voice of Elba High School football.[8] At the time of the sale, the station had a format of country and gospel music.[7] The Federal Communications Commission cancelled the station’s license on February 9, 2024,[9] as WELB had been silent since at least April 15, 2022.[10]
