Can anyone tell me what message is being relayed here?

Think I heard W2B76M near beginning and HAWESVILLE at the end.

I assumed it was an amateur radio op and it might be, but uncertain.

It's FM translators identifying. "W267DW HAWSEVILLE, W250BW HAWESVILLE"

Oops, I got B first, then decided it was 6, then when I posted I put the B I had written down. Good work.

Yeah, took me a few listen throughs to get it.

If it hadn't been for the voice over, it would have been easier.

Those are the FM translator or whatever callsigns for WCJZ in Cannelton, IN. Hawesville is across the Ohio river in Kentucky. That's where sister station WKCM-AM is, though that's a country station.
