I was the old PD of KEMM in Greenville yrs ago anybody hear if it is still on the air and have a website for them?
 
KEMM was sold to ESPN a few years ago. They are no longer on 92.1 but 103.3 and broadcasting from the Allen, Texas area. The KEMM studio is now sitting at the same place collecting dust.

Actually sold to ABC/Disney (who owns ESPN) with current callsign KESN-FM..xmtr tower is east south east of Collinsville area (same tower as 100.7 and 94.5) WAS on the old 2000ft 94.5 tower just west of Collinsville (now owned by Clear Channel) but moved when the new Salem 2000ft tower was built (sharing the same antenna with 94.5 iirc)...licensed to Allen but not where the xmtr is.

And KEMM's move to 103.3, along with the change of community of license from Commerce to Allen, was in the works over ten years ago. Like other move-ins, it took a number of changes to other stations and loads of cash to make it happen. The sale from Bluebonnet Radio to WBAP/KSCS Operating Ltd. (ABC) happened in 2000, and the switch to ESPN Radio as KESN happened the following year. On a somewhat related note, the frequency change made 92.1 available for assignment elsewhere in the area, and that's how KXEZ Farmersville came into being.
