Area code 364 is a proposed area code to serve western Kentucky, including the cities of Madisonville, Hopkinsville, Henderson, Murray, and Paducah. The current proposal is for it to be created by splitting Area code 270 along the counties through which the Pennyrile Parkway passes.
On May 31, 2007, the Kentucky Public Service Commission (PSC) announced that 270 would be split, with area code 364 serving western Kentucky, and area code 270 serving west-central Kentucky. This announcement indicated that permissive dialing of the new area code would begin on April 1, 2008, with mandatory dialing to the new area code on October 1, 2008. [1]
The PSC did note in the announcement that mandatory number pooling, recently imposed on the region, could delay the implementation of the new code. Since the announcement, there have been several such delays.[2][3][4][5] The most recent PSC announcement pushed the deadline for the split back to January 1, 2012, though a PSC spokesperson was almost certain there would be more delays.[1]
