WCMI (1340 kHz) is an ESPN Radio–affiliated station licensed to Ashland, Kentucky, United States, and serving Huntington, West Virginia and the greater Huntington–Ashland metropolitan area.
[3] That year, out-of-town football games of Ashland High School were sponsored on WCMI by the Boyd County Democratic Campaign Committee.
A month-long promotion campaign leading to the network affiliation included front-page newspaper ads and stories, sales letters to agencies and billboards and car cards in the three cities.
[6] Among the staff members at the time were Clay Dopp, Louis Lageman, Whitney Richard (Dick) Martin and women's director Sara Fisher.
Great Trails was controlled by Charles W. Sawyer, ex-U.S. Commerce Secretary, which also took over WCMI's application for a television station to broadcast on Channel 13 from Huntington,[8] which was withdrawn in March 1954.
