Memphis Radio Network Announces New Affiliates and Staff Changes
This is great! This means our fanbase is large enough in those markets to demand an affiliate.

This is great for Memphis, when a Power 5 conference is looking to add Memphis. This will prove to the Expansion Committees, Memphis is a growing market. As Memphis keeps doing well on the national TV, maybe we can expand outside of the region.

Hey, I dream BIG! I dream that Memphis, one day, has a network like Notre Dame! LOL :)

We increased our market size by 10-15K. WOW.

This is a start. I'm out of town, and, hope that one day, it reaches where I live. Unlike those of you who live in Memphis, we don't get OTA radio broadcasts. So, we hope to find a live feed somehow, currently. So, with each new affiliation, that means that I can hope that there will be an affiliate near me one day.

I hear you - I did as well for many years. Nowadays though, it's much easier - at least I think. Rock 102.7 is an iHeart Radio station. Download the app. Then you can listen to 102.7 wherever you are. They carry the games.

I met Tom Bowen soon after he arrived at the University. I told him that we needed to get our football and basketball on FM to improve broadcast coverage and build our fan base. When we got on FM 103 that was a great move, IMHO. This announcement that we are going to be on 3 more FM stations is another step in the right direction.

Times are changing. When I was a kid, Tipton County was a hotbed for UTay Urange. I have seen the younger generation there become strong Tiger supporters over the last few years. Now most of the remaining UT fans are elderly.

I like seeing progressive moves by the University and this looks like another one.

RE: Memphis Radio Network Announces New Affiliates and Staff Changes
I did some checking at radio-locator.com to see the coverage of these three new stations.
WNEV-FM is a Class A signal and covers West Helena and Clarksdale, MS with a city grade signal.
KAJK-FM is a Class A signal and covers Mariana, Marvell and Forest City with a city grade signal.
KCLT-FM is a Class A signal and covers Marvell and West Helena with a city grade signal.
A Class A FM is not the most powerful. The most powerful FM stations are Class C stations and they cover large areas...like 100 miles or more in all directions.
I think a Class A covers somewhere around 10 to 20 miles with a city grade signal (meaning you can hear the station on a radio located in a concrete building).

It is nice to add more stations but...these stations basically serve the area already covered by WREC. If you look at the nighttime coverage of WREC, the coverage void exists north of Memphis not in those area. I have put a link to WREC's nighttime coverage. So, at sunset, we lose coverage in most of the area north of Memphis Having stations in Covington and Jackson helps but the void is in the area around Dyersburg and as far south as Tupelo.

https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?ca...ice=AM&h=N

If you have some time to kill, you can search each of the stations on the network on this site and see their daytime and nighttime signals. FM's have the same signal day and night whereas most AM's have to reduce power at night.

I looked at the WJAK night time signal and it is not doing much except covering Jackson.

In years past you could not hear the broadcasts on IHeart radio. They would be blacked out and you would hear music. To hear them on the internet you had to buy a package from the university or Learfield or somebody. Same thing with the coaches show.

You might be right. I thought I listened to a game last year on it, but it may have been something else.

One way to get around this.....sometimes... is to search on the Internet and find the local station carrying the game for the opposing team. Many times that station does not black out the game. You can go to that station's web site and click on LISTEN LIVE and hear the game with the opposing teams announcers doing the play by play broadcast.

Just download the official Memphis Tigers app and listen there or just go to gotigersgo.com and listen in your browser! They've been streaming for free for the past couple seasons.
