WMKC is not a classic country station, not even close.

You are probably thinking of their low power sister station - an FM translator on 100.7 that rebroadcasts AM 1240 from Cheboygan.
Well, I did say I'm not a country fan... lol

Forgot WCBY is doing the classic country format.

Re: Weekend TV is Horrid

Also, both parts of the 9&10 50th are on YouTube now.
