Fifty years ago, it was a Top 40 radio station using the Drake Chenault presentation of the format that served as the launching pad for the late programming executive Bill Tanner.

Soon, this iHeartMedia property will gain an FM translator, giving it a bit of “revitalization.” It’s thanks to a deal involving the owner of the market’s purveyor of “Stimulating Talk” and a power increase which sees iHeart tweak the output of another Mississippi FM.
