87.7 WPGF-LD returned to broadcasting in late February utilizing the ATSC 3.0 loophole (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/209452/fcc-report-6-13-has-a-sta-based-doorway-been-cracked-open-to-retain-87-7-fm-operations/) utilized by other so-called “Franken-FMs” to continue operating since the shutdown of analog LPTV last summer. In doing so as “Bumpin 87.7 (http://bumpin877.com)“, Flinn brought back the brand for the third time.
The company previously utilized the “Bumpin” brand on 96.1 WIVG Tunica MS/96.3 W242CF Memphis as “Bumpin 96” from January 2015 (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/91708/radio-one-drops-the-boom-on-flinns-boomin-96-memphis/) through February 2016 (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/105233/alternative-returns-to-memphis-2/). It returned in June 2020 (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/188696/memphis-is-bumpin-again/) through December 2020 (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/200071/santa-comes-to-memphis-as-whbq-moves-fm-signal/) on 1240 WMSO Southaven MS/104.1 W281BR Memphis.
Then WPGF-LP most recently operated as “Drake Hall Memphis Radio (https://drakehallmemphis.com)” until going silent in July 2021 (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/210481/drake-hall-memphis-moves-to-wivg/). That brand was relocated to 96.1 WIVG Tunica at that time.
