WWON (AM)

Wayne County's first radio station went on the air in January 1970, with studios located upstairs above Helton's Drug Store.

In the mid-1970s the station changed hands and Grand Ole Opry members Ernie Ashworth and Ralph Davis became the owners for a brief period, along with Carl Swafford.

In the late 1980s, the station was moved to its present location in the old bank building on the Public Square in downtown Waynesboro.

Aside from past owner Ernie Ashworth of Grand Ole Opry fame, country singer, actor, writer, and Waynesboro native Mark Collie also got his start on AM 930.

"Wile Willie" as he was called on the air, had success on the country charts with his hit "Big Blue Diamond".

The station continued a great tradition of "Hometown Radio" providing Wayne County with local news, weather, and sports broadcasts.

An interactive, and updated website with local news headlines was restarted, and coverage of Wayne County Wildcat sports, and Tennessee Titans football was added to the programming line-up.

On January 8, 2007, the station changed its name and added current country songs to its rotation, in response to a web-based poll of its listeners.
