87.7 WPGF-LP Memphis dropped its Christmas music “Santa 87.7” programming and is currently stunting with a loop of Rufus Thomas’ “The Memphis Train”.

Back on December 1, Flinn dropped the Classic Hip Hop “Bumpin 104.1” format on 1240 WMSO Southaven MS/104.1 W281BR Memphis after just five months and flipped the station to a mix of Adult R&B and Gospel as “The Trend on WAVN“. The station previously utilized the WAVN calls until becoming WMSO in March 2019. “The Trend” retains Reach Media’s Rickey Smiley Morning Show and adds “The Urban Soul Cafe with Carlos Hale” for afternoons.

Original Report 10/21: Flinn Broadcasting continues to revamp its Memphis cluster.

After flipping CHR “Q107.5” WHBQ-FM to Classic Hits in late September, the company has made changes at additional signals within its cluster.

“Sports 56” 560 WHBQ Memphis/96.1 WIVG Tunica MS has dropped its simulcast on 87.7 WPGF-LP Memphis, while signing on new translator 98.5 W253DF Memphis to take its place. The 98.5 signal retains WHBQ’s FM coverage on the east side of Memphis and its suburbs of Bartlett and Germantown.

87.7 WPGF-LP has begun airing Christmas music as “Santa 87.7“. The station will continue with the holiday music through end of the year.
