That is a quite excellent station now with the sports format. I really enjoyed the blues format that used to be present on the frequency but obviously it didn't pan out in the Louisville market. Oh well, I guess XM bluesville will do for now!

Man I loved this station. ESPN's hosts are waay better than FOX's. I hope they stay on the air.
I agree! I prefer ESPN radio over Fox any day. It would be nice if 1570 AM was able to produce a better signal, especially during the nighttime hours.radioville said:Man I loved this station. ESPN's hosts are waay better than FOX's. I hope they stay on the air.
Yea, at night time, you can't understand one word, kind of like 1450. What am-stations are not being used right now?

There may be some available in the expanded AM band 1610-1700KHZ. Chicago's ESPN radio station WMVP-AM 1000 usually comes in fairly clear at night.
