WMC

WMC is a radio station in the Memphis, Tennessee market, broadcasting at 790 AM. It is one of the city's oldest radio stations and presently programs a sports format. The station currently runs a direct satellite feeds of ESPN Radio and CBS Sports Radio. In addition to sports talk shows, WMC-AM features longtime Memphis disc jockey George Klein's weekly tribute program to Elvis Presley. Klein and Presley were close friends and confidantes during the latter's lifetime and the former's long stint on WHBQ-AM. The station's license is currently held by Entercom Communications, which it purchased from CBS in September 2006; WMC-AM and sister WMC-FM were for many years owned and operated by Scripps Howard Broadcasting, along with then-TV sister WMC-TV, before SHB sold the latter property in 1993. It is one of six radio properties in the Memphis market held by Entercom; the others are WMC-FM, WRVR-FM, WMFS, WKQK-FM, and WMFS-FM. Entercom purchased WMC-AM, WMC-FM and WMFS in 2006. WMC-AM maintains studios in the Entercom complex in Southeast Memphis, and has a transmitter tower in Northeast Memphis.
