In 1981, a
construction permit was granted to build a new AM station near Nashville on 560
kHz. It was given the
call sign WTBN. The station
signed on the air on September 4, 1985. At that point, its call letters were WWCR and it was a
daytimer, required to go off the air at night. It was owned by American Media Productions and had a daytime power of 500 watts, airing
adult contemporary music. The station converted to its current format in 1996, with the call letters WYOR, as syndicated
sports radio programming became a popular radio format. In the past, WNSR was
affiliated with
Yahoo! Sports Radio (formerly Sporting News Radio). In addition, it aired some
NBC Sports Radio programs. The station also broadcasts local sports, both talk shows and play-by-play, as well as national shows from the
Infinity Sports Network, previously CBS Sports Radio. It also carries live
Atlanta Braves baseball games and
Memphis Grizzlies basketball games as well as
Tennessee State Tigers and Lady Tigers sports. ==References==
