The station that first played Elvis Presley is now available in his
hometown.

After stunting with a loop of Frosty The Snowman for the past two months,
Flinn Broadcastings 96.3 WXWX Marietta/Tupelo MS has flipped back to Sports
with a simulcast of Sports 56 560 WHBQ/87.7 WPGF-LP Memphis. Prior to
beginning its Frosty stunt, WXWX was operated via LMA by Telesouth
Communications as ESPN 96.3. The end of the LMA on August 1 left the Tupelo
market without a Sports station.

Burton SC while upgrading to a Class C3. The move will shift WALI into the
Beaufort/Hilton Head Island market where it will operate with 11kW/150m. To
keep first local service in Walterboro, Grace Baptist Church of Orangeburg
has applied to change the city-of-license of 810 WWOS St. George to
Walterboro.
