WKKP
WKKP AM broadcasts on 1410 am at a power of 2.5 kilowatts from a tower located on Racetrack Rd In McDonough, Georgia, a southern suburb of Atlanta. The station is owned by Henry County Radio Co Inc. and originates from studios located on Brownlee Rd in Jackson Ga. The station was originally WZAL and was assigned to 1540 then 1410, and was owned by Dallas Tarkenton (older brother of Fran Tarkenton) Broadcasting until it was purchased by DeVan-Moore Communication, Inc. in the mid 80s. The station saw successful growth in the hands of Jim DeVan (former manager of WMCD, Statesboro, Georgia) until his sudden death in 1991. The station was sold to a former Tarkenton associate (Earnhart) who changed the call letters and moved the station. WKKP (Kopy Kat Programming) was local programming in the morning then simulcast programming from sister station Wjga-FM in Jackson, Georgia. The station has gone through many morphs and now it broadcasts Classic Country programming from satellite.
AM 1410 also highlights on Saturdays at 1:00 pm the Henry County Game of the Week. Play by play is done by Jason Shadden and Chris McGowan is the color analyst. It is a great show. Jason and Chris really brings the game to life.
