WETB (790 AM) is a commercial radio station broadcasting a classic hits formatas93.7 Goat FM. It is licensedtoJohnson City, Tennessee, and serves the Tri-Cities area. It is owned by Kenneth C. Hill with studios on Brandonwood Drive in Johnson City. On weekends, WETB carries classic episodes of Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 from the 1980s and 90s. On Sundays, much of the programming is Christian radio.
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.[1] The transmitter is on Brandonwood Drive, near the station's studios.[2] Programming is also heard on 250-watt FM translator W229DH at 93.7 MHz.[3]
WETB signed on the air on November 25, 1947; 76 years ago (1947-11-25). 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.
