Joey & Kelsey O’Rourke’s JKO Media have begun operating DLC Media’s three Terre Haute IN stations ahead of the closing of their $875,000 purchase.
The O’Rourkes have announced their upcoming plans for the three stations.
Classic Country “105.5 The Legend” WVIG West Terre Haute will remain the same and carry Indiana State University sports.
Rock “92.7 The Rock” WFNB Brazil will change call letters to WFNF, but retain its current format. The station will carry Indiana University and Northview High School sports.
Soft AC “The Breeze” 1130 WAMB Brazil and translators 99.5 W258BA Terre Haute and 106.9 W295CQ Brazil will flip to Sports as “The Fanbase” assuming the WFNB call letters. The station will carry Fox Sports Radio programming including Dan Patrick and Colin Cowherd along with Purdue University and Vigo County High School football. A local show, “Joey O and the King” hosted by station owner Joey O’Rourke and Tyler King will air weekdays as opposed to its current weekly airing on Classic Hits “Magic Hits 105.9” WMMC Marshall IL. The flip will mark a move back to Sports for the signals, which were previously “The Fan” under Emmis ownership until being sold to DLC Media in 2017.
JKO Media also owns WMMC, which will retain its Classic Hits format with Joey O’Rourke in mornings and sports play-by-play of University of Illinois and both Marshall and Casey-Westfield high schools.
