Yes, it does. CVG has ~120 departures while MEM is being reduced to 94.
Don't forget that CVG also still maintains pilot bases for the MD-88/90 and Boeing 737. MEM no longer has a Delta pilot base. I'm not sure if MEM still has a flight attendant base.
CVG is also a 737 maintenance base.
From what I have been told the BOD at Delta has given the green light to install new LCD panels in the flight deck of the MD-88. The first MD-88's to receive these new flight decks will be based at CVG. As with everything at Delta, this could change of course.
For the time being though it seems CVG's future is brighter than that of MEM.
