Programming

The station is primarily classic rock. Since 2002, the station has competed with WZNF, a Gulfport, Mississippi classic rock station. That station's signal can reach Mobile, WRKH's primary listening area. WRKH broadcasts a wide variety of music considered classic rock, and, most recently, some music from the early 1990s has been heard - various Pearl Jam and Red Hot Chili Peppers songs have been played. WRKH also broadcasts the syndicated John Boy and Billy Big Show on Monday-Saturday mornings, and Chip Nelson on afternoons. Starting with the 2016 season, as part of an agreement with iHeartMedia and the University of South Alabama, coverage of USA Jaguars football will move from WMXC to WRKH.

gollark: We should retool basic education around more practical stuff, problem-solving, rationality, statistics, probability, sort of thing, in my opinion, not "spend 5 hours writing an essay on some nonsense about a poem".
gollark: Ignorance is just not knowing stuff, so yes it can.
gollark: I feel like uneducated masses would function worse.
gollark: Yes, that would be good.
gollark: Why not just actually divide classes by ability/interest instead?
