WNAH began broadcasting at 6 a.m. on December 24, 1949, from studios in the penthouse of the James Robertson Hotel in downtown Nashville. WNAH was the first station in Nashville to accept local religious programs as a part of its regular schedule. Fatherland Baptist Church was the first church to begin broadcasting on WNAH and continues to this day. Fatherland’s first broadcast was on December 25, 1949. Several other churches have been on the station almost as long. In 1961 the station moved to the Hermitage Hotel and remained there until 1973. In September of 1973, the studios were moved to a much larger facility in the Whitehall Building at 1701 West End. In 1978, to facilitate the continued rapid growth of the station, WNAH purchased the building that houses our present facilities at 44 Music Square East. The station transmitter site has remained at the same location on Whites Creek Pike since the station went on the air in 1949. In October 2010 WNAH installed a new BE-AM-1 transmitter greatly improving our AM sound quality and signal. Major sports events such as Chicago White Sox Baseball, the Mutual Game of the Day, Notre Dame Football, and coverage of local sports are all part of the station’s rich history. For a period of time in the 60’s, the New York Metropolitan Opera was aired every Saturday afternoon. Since its inception, WNAH has been affiliated with, or carried news and /or programs from all the major radio networks ... CBS, ABC, NBC and Mutual. WNAH presented live broadcast coverage of the Tennessee State Fair for many years. Many other remotes from important Nashville events have been covered through the years including Christmas Village and various expos as well as other important Nashville events. Since 1965, WNAH has presented the “WNAH Direct Line to Santa Claus” at the North Pole workshop. From Thanksgiving Day through Christmas Day, Children of all ages can hear daily updated messages from Santa Claus by calling 615-737-9333. The format of WNAH is Christian Talk ... 24 hours a day featuring many well-known national and local pastors and teachers. On October 3, 2018, WNAH was purchased by Hoyt Carter and became H. M. Carter Broadcasting. Programming has remained basically the same. |
