WNOX Knoxville (1982)

1982 was a big year in Knoxville, because the city welcomed the world for the 1982 World's Fair. From May 1 through October 31st of that year, Knoxville welcomed the world. If you went to the 1982 World's Fair, you were there to enjoy all the sights and sounds. Just like the commercial said, you've got to be there.

While the 1982 World's Fair was in full swing, your radio was filled with music that suited your needs. One of those was country music and there were a few options. You could either listen to WRJZ, WNOX or WIVK-AM/FM for your favorite country songs. It was in 1982 that WNOX was ready to debut a new FM sister station in Kix 95, WNKX. Kix 95 would play your favorite country songs and offer you the best in Big Orange sports. In 1982, country radio in Knoxville got even more interesting.

With that said, here is an aircheck recorded in 1982 of WNOX's country music format. The aircheck features WNOX DJ Bob Barry (?) playing your favorite country songs.
