During the 1980s, FM radio featured unique and exciting formats that suited the listener's needs. Here in Tennessee, many FM stations presented these formats in a unique style by DJs who played the hits.

As a thank you to what FM radio done in Tennessee during the 1980s, I now bring you an audio montage of how FM radio sounded in Tennessee during that decade. The audio presentation features a lot of legal IDs as well as an interesting promo aired on WRVU in Nashville circa 1982. The montage includes legal IDs for long-gone stations such as WTNZ in Clinton and WNKX in Sevierville. The audio quality for this montage varies.

Enjoy this look back at how FM radio sounded in Tennessee during the 1980s.
