I was in Nashville on Friday and was able to listen to the Fred Thompson Show. I really want a Knoxville station to pick his radio talk show for airing. As you may have heard WNOX is moving from 100.3 FM to 98.7 FM. They are currently broadcasting on both frequencies.
In the near future Johnny Pirkle (owner of the 100.3 FM signal) and Ed Brantley (former legendary Knoxville radio broadcaster and Former Citadel Broadcasting Executive) are expected to begin a station that will begin broadcasting on the 100.3 FM airwaves. The word on the street is that 100.3 FM under Pirkle and Brantley will either be country music or a talk station format. It has been reported to Brian’s Blog that office space has been secured by them in the Downtown West area. I am pulling for Pirkle and Brantley and if they can secure the Fred Thompson Show, that would be the icing on the cake.
