WTFM Kingsport (1985)

From the 1950s through the 1970s, easy listening music was a popular music format for radio listeners. In the 1980s, there were quite a few of them in Tennessee.

Take, for example, WTFM in Kingsport. WTFM, the former WKPT-FM, aired an easy listening format which lasted until 1986 when it changed its format to adult contemporary. This aircheck showcases the beautiful music heard on WTFM in the final months of their easy listening format.

  2. Sammy, I went ahead and linked your page. I enjoyed that WTFM aircheck, because it reminds me of how WEZK in Knoxville was playing music during the 1980s.
