Because of FCC regulations and competing radio signals, the antenna is in the suburbs. The signal reaches much of southeastern Jefferson County plus parts of the East End (St. Matthews and Crescent Hill) and the South End.

1103 S. Second Street

The Brick House was a later incarnation of The Brycc House. Located on the corner of Second and St. Catherine in downtown Louisville, it tried to focus more on being an community resource center than a punk rock venue. The website (archived version linked below) had a lot more up-to-date information about the programs and services they offer. Their grand opening weekend was April 15-17, 2005, and featured not only practical and informational workshops, but also three different shows with rock, rap and folk.

The Brick House hosted all kinds of community events. For example, in December 2005 they held a free health fair with free HIV testing and counseling. In July of 2005 the AND1 Mix Tape Tour stopped at the Brick House to talk to neighborhood youth, sign autographs, and give away prizes for an AND1 essay contest. They also hold fun events like the reoccuring Zombie Prom.

In June 2007, the Brick House launched its low-power FM radio station, WXBH-LP, broadcasting at 92.7 mHz. The station broadcast an eclectic mix of music and some limited informational programming (including some from the Pacifica Radio Network). The station depended on local volunteers for programming and all its operations. See http://wxbh.org

Because of FCC regulations and competing radio signals, the antenna used was in the suburbs. The signal reached much of southeastern Jefferson County plus parts of the East End (St. Matthews and Crescent Hill) and the South End.

The 92.7 mHz frequency was shared with the other LPFM station in town: Fern Creek High School's WFHS-LP. During the school year, the school broadcasts during the school day and on Tuesday and Friday evenings till 11.
