As I launched a brand new and exciting website about Tennessee radio during the 1980s this week, we now take you back to 1983 where a new FM radio station launched in the city of Gatlinburg. Before the days of WDLY, Dolly's station, it was WVTN. WVTN was launched by Vacation Media, whose key people included Roy Maples (president), Ralph Maples (vice president and treasurer) and Leo Ely (vice president and secretary).
Here is a Billboard news article written in 1983 about the launch of WVTN:
