The Memphis "Pig" gets stuffed and replaced by a conservative-talk "Point"

Memphis owner George Flinn and talker Mark Skoda are collaborating on a Tea Party-friendly “Point", with the effect of banishing the adult alternative "Pig" format from the local airwaves, both AM (WMPS at 1210) and the simulcast on Flinn-owned low power TV WPGF-LP channel 6, at 87.7 FM. Skoda says he’s inspired by the growth of the Tea Party, and he will manage the new format through MPS Broadcasting. The schedule starts with Dirk Van’s “First Light”, the Nashville-based Steve Gill (regionally syndicated), Salem's Mike Gallagher, Matthew Hill (talkshow host and state legislator), “News and Views” with Dr. Larry Bates and Chuck Bates, Westwood One's Doug Urbanski, Mark Skoda, Westwood's Dennis Miller, TRN's Rusty Humphries and (late nights) Westwood's Jim Bohannon. The Point website is here. They're talking about the new addition to the Memphis talk radio scene on the Board at Radio-Info.com, here.
