W260CB

W260CB (99.9 FM, "The Detroit Praise Network") is a radio translatorinDetroit, Michigan. Owned by Beasley Broadcast Group, it relays an urban gospel format broadcast by WDMK-HD2, which, along with the 99.9 FM signal of W260CB is also simulcast on W252BX 98.3 FM. The stations are collectively branded as The Detroit Praise Network.

W260CB first launched in 2000 as W206BI on 89.1 MHz as a repeater of Toledo, Ohio's WGTE-FM, covering the Hamtramck area. In 2010, it would move to 99.9 MHz as W260CB and become an FM repeater of AM 1200, before experimenting with a format of retro soul hits in early 2018. This would end when the station was purchased by Urban One, who relocated their Praise Radio station from WPZR (102.7 FM) upon that station's sale to the Educational Media Foundation on May 1, 2018. Upon moving to 99.9 and launching on August 9, 2018, the station acquired two repeaters (W228CJ in Oak Park and W252BX in Southwest Detroit) from the EMF to fill in gaps in coverage in the area. W228CJ has since flipped to sports on August 30, 2021.

W252BX 98.3 FM broadcasts from a transmitter on top of the Renaissance Center.^[1] Since it transmits from downtown Detroit, its signal covers all of the City of Detroit, along with nearby communities of Dearborn, River Rouge, Melvindale and Redford Township. Due to its proximity to the U.S./ Canada border, some of this translator's signal reaches across the Detroit river into the immediate Windsor, Ontario, area, coverage in Canada is limited due to a directional transmitting pattern keeping much of the signal on the U.S. side of the border.

W260CB broadcasts at 99.9 FM from the WYCD/WDVD/WCSX/WMGC-FM broadcast tower in Royal Oak Charter Township, covering Southfield, Farmington Hills and Bloomfield Hills.

Both signals originate from WDMK HD-2, the signal can be heard on HD radio receivers throughout much of Southeast Michigan beyond the limited range of the translators listed above.
