No Fox Sports Radio on the Mississippi Gulf Coast

[The Rimshot]

And for years this area has had an ESPN Radio affiliate.

It’s baffling to me because FSR gets better ratings, and ESPN Radio would seem “too liberal” for Biloxi.

Lafayette and Lake Charles in neighboring Louisiana also do not have an FSR affiliate.

Baton Rouge and New Orleans do not have one, either. Very odd.

I’m aware that anyone can listen if they have Bluetooth capabilities in their car, or Alexa in their house, but if ESPN Radio exists on a terrestrial level in these cities, you would think Fox Sports Radio would as well.

WODT 1280 had carried Fox Sports Radio in NOLA two different times and now is a relay for Black Information Network.

The question comes down to whether the station gets enough ratings to allow for high billing. Without a profit, they're going to carry what works. No network or format will work in every single market.
