Murray’s Radio Shack may have avoided closure in the company’s recent announcement to close twenty-four hundred stores. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last week.  

In Kentucky, twenty seven closures are slated including shops in Mayfield, Princeton, Hopkinsville and Paducah.

In Tennessee, two stores are slated for closure in Clarksville. Marion Illinois is also set to lose its store.  

Chad Lampe, a Poplar Bluff, Missouri native, was raised on radio. He credits his father, a broadcast engineer, for his technical knowledge, and his mother for the gift of gab. At ten years old he broke all bonds of the FCC and built his own one watt pirate radio station. His childhood afternoons were spent playing music and interviewing classmates for all his friends to hear. At fourteen he began working for the local radio stations, until he graduated high school. He earned an undergraduate degree in Psychology at Murray State, and a Masters Degree in Mass Communication. In November, 2011, Chad was named Station Manager in 2016.
