For the heck of it, what station is Samford on now?

Beginning this fall, Samford football and men's basketball will be heard on WZRR-FM 99.5 The Vibe, the 100,000-watt signal that serves as Birmingham's home for "Today's Hottest Music".

This is an article from 2013. Samford is not on the radio at all. I'm a Samford. graduate and think this is ridiculous. I've let them know my feelings and they could care less. Samford only broadcasts games via internet. As a UAB graduate this is great for our fans and UAB.

My bad. I do remember hearing Samford games on 91.1 FM which is owned by Samford. What happened with that?

Samford sold 91.1 and new owners I think have something to do with Jazz Music Hall of Fame at the Lyric Theater. Several years ago Samford announced Mike Grace was retiring at baseball game and had a celebration. He was a very good announcer. Then they got rid of another very talented guy running 91.1 Andy Parrish when station sold.It was part of their all internet broadcasting plans. I feel everyone needs a radio home especially for the local fans but the internet reaches a lot rmore folks. I shouldn't have said Samford does not care, but they do need local radio. The quality of internet streaming is really good which I enjoy.
