Props to Doctor Technical for mentioning this in the Michael Savage thread. Apparently, WPBQ has started airing Michael Savage, just days after being dumped by SuperTalk Mississippi. This will be the impetus for 1240 to move back to news/talk after being a sports talk station with ESPN Radio affiliation since 2004.
I figured sooner or later that this market wouldn't be big enough for four sports stations, but I thought 1240 wouldn't be the one to go down. I get the feeling that 1240 will be nothing but a regurgitation of the usual right-wing talk radio we already have here. But another question is who will take up the mantel for ESPN between Supersport 930 and 970 the Fan, both which are Sporting News affiliates.
