NASCAR On Country WRKA

W

Did anyone else notice today's MRN NASCAR race airing on WRKA 103.9 in Louisville? I don't think I've ever heard them break from their regular format before.

I guessed that someone would pick up the coverage after 105.1 dropped it along with their talk format. Not a NASCAR fan here so I wont be listening ;)

I quit listening when Gary Clark left. Anybody know if he's still in Louisville?

I've always liked Gary Clark. I don't know where he is but would like to know. Where are you John Quincy? You probably know where he is!
 
Gary is still in town, and works for Salem Broadcasting.

And WildcatGuy is right: Nascar is the first break from the regular format since the call letter swap from 103.1 and the launch of Country Legends in July, 2008.

And since some like to wax nostalgic over classic call letters, this is the first time sports has been on WRKA- ever. Dating back 33 years.

Sports on music radio is a bad fit. We have one local country station that is so littered with sports that it NEVER gets played in local businesses...and that's a shame as it's a remarkably good station when it's in format. The radios in a business are often hard to get at and once a sportscast causes the business to change to a station that does play music 24/7, that business is lost for good. It's like selling your foot without thinking that you'll never walk as well again. Very short sighted. This comment from an engineer who knows next to nothing about programming but who has at least figured this much out.
 
If I was looking for Gary Clark, I might try to contact him through that new fangled Facebook.

Last night I heard a commerical on WRKA announcing that station as the new home of NASCAR tying Dolly Parton with Danica Patrick.

During the race, 103.9 got a "shout out" from MRN.
