610 Sports Radio

KCSP (610 AM, "610 Sports") is a sports/talk radio station located in Kansas City, Missouri. The Entercom-owned station broadcasts on 610 kHz. Beginning March 31, 2011, its programming is simulcast on KMBZ-FM's 98.1-HD2 subchannel.While KCSP debuted in 2002, the 610 has been a well-known frequency in Kansas City. WDAF, Kansas City's fourth radio station, debuted in late 1922. WDAF was a full service station playing MOR music until 1974 when it became an Adult Contemporary/Oldies based station until they adopted a country music format in 1977. In 2002, it began simulcasting on the 106.5 FM frequency under the WDAF callsign. When the station adopted a permanent sports format, its callsign was changed to KCSP. Often considered one of Kansas City's most popular stations, some listeners were originally dismayed to see its move to FM in favor of the new sports format. Since then, KCSP has consistently trailed rival WHB, which entered the marketplace seven years earlier. Based on the most recent ratings reports, 610 Sports experienced some of the quickest growth ever by a sports radio station, but the gap widened as WHB carried the Super Bowl, and NCAA Men's Final Four.Notable Air PersonalitiesRichard Ward FatherlyFred EverettTom Brown IVJim GallantDick WilsonDan HenryPhil Young"Brother" JulianKurt "Mother" MurzJohn Chambers"Katfish" Kris KellyMark FosterJay MackDavid Lawrence "The Golden Beacon"Ed MuscareLes TurpinCharles Gray (News Anchor)Caroline Rooney (News Anchor)
