Townsquare Media has flipped Classic Country 1130 KWKH Shreveport to Sports as “1130 The Tiger“.
Tim Fletcher joins the station to host a local morning show from 7 to 9am. The rest of the lineup comes from Premiere Radio Networks and Fox Sports Radio including Dan Patrick and Jim Rome in middays. A local afternoon host will be named shortly.
The station takes its name from its place as the Shreveport market affiliate of the LSU Tigers and will run LSU Football based programming on Wednesday nights. The 50kW AM has a strong signal throughout the south at night.
During the mid-1950’s, didn’t KWKH-1130 simulcast the sound portion of a local country-music TV show titled “Louisiana Hayride” (produced by a Shreveport TV station) on which Elvis Presley made his TV and radio debuts??
