WETB (790 AM) is a commercial radio station broadcasting a classic hits format as 93.7 Goat FM. It is licensed to Johnson City, Tennessee, and serves the Tri-Cities area. It is owned by Kenneth C. Hill with studios on Brandonwood Drive in Johnson City.
By day, WETB is powered at 5,000 watts non-directional. But at night, to prevent interference to other stations on 790 AM, it must greatly reduce power to 72 watts. For most of WETB's early history, it was a daytimer, required to go off the air at night.[3] The transmitter is on Brandonwood Drive, near the station's studios. Programming is also heard on 250-watt FM translator W229DH at 93.7 MHz.
History
[edit]WETB signed on the air on November 25, 1947. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was a popular Top 40 station.
In the late 80s, WETB was "East Tennessee's Beautiful 79". It played a mix of middle of the road (MOR) hits and easy listening music.
For most of the early 2000s, it aired a Christian radio format.
