On Air - longer than anyone

WSM is a 50,000-watt AM radio station located in Nashville, Tennessee. It broadcasts a full-time country music format at 650 kHz and is known as the home of The Grand Ole Opry, the world's longest running radio program. The station's clear channel signal can reach much of North America and nearby countries, especially late at night and has been doing so since October 5, 1925. Families used to gather around radios when the signal came in strong to listen to the familiar sound of the Grand Old Opry. Now, the tourists come to stay at Opryland and often do not look up from their cell phones long enough to see the country music stars right there in the studios; on-air live.
