banishing the adult alternative “Pig” format
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What is the “Pig” format? It is similar to KPIG out of California?
I think so. In 09 they may have been on WIVG 96.1 Tunica MS. I remember stopping at a tourist info booth there—was on my way south to Clarksdale—and was picking up Americana—
outlaw country, blues, etc...they called themselves the Pig.
I have heard tapes of KPIG in past from a “tape trader”in Calif.—maybe similar
current format http://radiopig.com/87oink7/
Note they broadcast on analog ch 6’s audio freq., 87.7 MHz
although the list of artists on that site sounds a lot more mainstream than what I heard in 09—REM, Counting Crows,
Clapton, D Matthews—but also BB King, A. Kraus
Later in my trip I went to King’s museum in Indianola where he grew up. BB = “Beale st Blues Boy”...
