Southern Electronics Company had launched Sports “ESPN Mississippi 95.1 The Fan” WLEE-FM Sherman MS last September upon its move-in into the Tupelo market. Less than six months later the station has flipped to gold based Country “95.1 The Farm“.
In their farewell message earlier this month the management of the Sports format indicated they had “encountered several financial and technical barriers that prompted an executive decision to phase out ESPN programming”. A new management team took over the operation of the station upon the flip to Country.
