WRKN-FM/New Orleans

WRKN-FM in New Orleans flips to Sports/Talk as "106.1 The Ticket." The new station debuted on Friday, March 1 and moves from its previous Country format to Sports/Talk with the addition of FOX Sports Radio's lineup as well as local weekday programs, including "Inside New Orleans with Eric Asher," "All Access with Ken Trahan" and "Nola's Team Radio Show with Tim Duncan."
