The WTBF Studios are located on the square in downtown Troy AL. WE thought it was an automated station, until we saw the DJ run into the studio holding his dinner, which he had picked up from a restaurant across the street. We tuned into the broadcast in time to hear him do a couple of local ads and spin some 1970s oldies. We think we saw Ralph, but it could have been Ray.

WTBF-AM is licensed to broadcast at 5000 watts during the day and 45 watts at night. Source: FCC website (visit link)
