By day, WNSR is powered at 1,000 watts using a non-directional antenna, it reduces power to 75 watts at night to avoid interference to other stations on 560 AM. Programming is also heard on 103.9 WRFM in Drakesboro, Kentucky, about 80 miles (130km) north of Nashville. It is also heard on three FM translators in the Nashville area: 95.9 W240CA and 104.9 W285FB, both in Brentwood and 107.9 W300DO in Smyrna.
History
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.[2] 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.
