The next couple NLCS games will determine if the Cardinals keep playing, of course. I have visited Memphis before and was pretty sure AM 790 was carrying the Cards at the time, or at least their minor league Redbirds...so a classic country station gives way to sports. Entercom, the owner (which, as it says, already owns ESPN 680/92.9) does well with sports especially in New England where its' WEEI has branched out onto various stations, including FM in immediate Boston area for the first time)

Thats too bad. I can pick them up at night here in E.TX.

Anybody seen this monster buck taken by a bow hunter in Smith County TX. ( near the Sabine )?

Thread jack? No. The guy told us he was listening to 790 in his truck on the way home, singin’ along to “ A Country Boy Can Survive”.

Would you look at the time.... gotta suit up and git.

I was born and grew up in Memphis, and lived in the area until 1999.
WMC was among the first and a great station, and carried Rush in the 80s.

At some point they put a black guy in charge of programing
and Rush was dropped.
It was a very stupid move, but Memphis was flipping racially from 60/40 w/b, to 40/60 w/b.

WREC picked up Rush and became the main talk station in Memphis.

I was not aware that WMC had gone to sports.
I would just as soon watch paint dry, as listen to sports on the radio....well, except for maybe a few UT football games :)

Anyway, I started international traveling in 1999, and left the area for good in 2004, so my information is a bit old.
