WLUS-FM is a Country formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Clarksville, Virginia, serving the Southside Virginia area. WLUS-FM is owned and operated by Thomas Birch's Birch Broadcasting Corporation, through licensee Lakes Media, LLC.[2]
In August 2016, Lakes Media sent an informal objection to the Federal Communications Commission alleging that translator W252DK in Durham, North Carolina was interfering with reception of WLUS-FM. After nearly a year of debate between Arohi Media, licensee of W252DK, and Lakes Media, the FCC sent a letter requiring that the translator cease operation immediately.[3][4] The translator's license has been suspended and is no longer found in the FCC database.[5] The FCC had accepted a Petition for Reconsideration filed by Arohi Media on June 1, 2017.[6]
WLUS would experience interference issues again with another translator station in 2024, this time coming from First State Communications, which owned W252EL in Cary, North Carolina and rebroadcast WQDR-AM.[7] The move was made when numerous translators where reshuffled in a swap with WPTF in August of that year.[8][9] However, WLUS complained that W252EL was causing interference to its southern coverage area.[10] W252EL would eventually suspend operations on April 11, 2025[11], while First State Communications would attempt to ammend its permit to reduce its power from 150 to 6 watts.[12]
