WSM Tower selected for National Register of Historic Places

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

WSM Tower selected for National Register of Historic Places

The legendary Blaw-Knox WSM Tower receives National Historic designation

From The Tennessean:

WSM-AM’s radio tower is now on the National Register of Historic Places.

Located in Brentwood near Interstate 65, the 808-foot, diamond-shaped broadcast tower was erected in 1932. A radio transmission complex at the same site served as a temporary home for WSM from May of 2010 to January of this year, while station operations inside the Gaylord Opryland were displaced by the flood.

Good job, WSM.
Now you have to do a study as mandated by the FCC to analyze the impact of any change you want to make to your facility.

Its kind of a double edged sword though. If they play their cards right, the will now be able to get free money to pay for the upkeep of the site and facility
Who killed the radio star??
