Country 98 adds NASCAR

If you’re a fan of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, you can now find the races from MRN (Motor Racing Network) on “Country 98 WXTA.” I caught a promo on the station with the local tag stating that the Richmond, Virginia race would be carried live. This is the first Erie station to carry NASCAR since the former WEYZ  “Z-Country 1530” in North East simulcasted the races with WWCB 1370 from Corry in the mid to late 90’s. This follows another great move by Citadel sister station “Z-102.3” with their addition of NFL games on Sunday nights. Putting both sports on FM stations really makes a difference in both sound quality and not having to lose a signal at night like you can with AM broadcasts. Plus it makes more sense to be more diverse in this age of I-Pods and Satellite Radio.
