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.
Ah, thanks for the info. I’m in Boston and into a bit of sports myself—baseball etc.—and we have a lot of sports talk radio and games up here. (Poli) Talk radio fan too.
