iRock 103.7: 21st-century rock in Memphis. Listen to Foo Fighters, AC/DC, and more on our live player. Classic and new hits from Arkansas!
iRock 103.7 is a vibrant active rock (or “21st-century rock”) station broadcasting on 103.7 FM and on digital platforms.
It primarily serves the Memphis, Tennessee, and parts of Arkansas area, attracting fans of modern and classic rock with a fresh twist.
The station is owned by iHeartMedia and began operations in 1960 as an AM station (KDRX) in Paragould, Arkansas, focusing on a variety of local formats.
In 2008, the station launched its 103.7 FM frequency with a focus on contemporary rock, adopting the “iRock 103.7” branding to differentiate itself from classic rock stations like Rock 103 (which was 102.7 FM until its change in 2023). Under iHeartMedia (formerly Clear Channel), it has evolved to capture the Memphis market, expanding from northeast Arkansas into the metropolitan area.
In recent years, it has maintained its relevance with local promotions and event coverage in the Mississippi Delta region, becoming a benchmark for alternative and hard rock in a market dominated by blues and R&B.
