WHIN

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WHIN is an AM radio station broadcasting on a frequency of 1010 kHz which is licensed to and serving the community of Gallatin, Tennessee. The station broadcasts with a power of 5,000 watts during daylight hours; this is reduced to 47 watts at night. Gallatin received its first radio station in August 1948 when WHIN went on the air. Owned at one time by record mogul Randy Wood, the station still serves Sumner County with country music, local sports, and coverage of NASCAR racing. WHIN was joined by an FM staion in December 1960 when 104.5 came on the air. The FM station has broadcast under many call letters, but probably its most famous days were in the late 1970s and 1980s when it was known as KX (pronounced Kicks) 104, a popular music station that battled with Nashville stations for top listenership. During that time the station was owned by Ron Bledsoe, who for years had commanded CBS Records in Nashville, and was a former employee of the station in his younger years.
