WETR (Talk Radio 92.3/AM 760) is a daytime-only talk radio station in Knoxville, TN that broadcasts on 760 AM and its FM translator at 92.3 FM.
Because it shares the same frequency with WJR in Detroit, Michigan, WETR-AM operates during the daytime hours only. WETR’s FM translator (W222BA/Karns, TN) operates 24/7, but with a smaller coverage area over Central and East Knoxville.
Programming
As “Knoxville’s Talk You Can Trust,” WETR airs a line-up of conservative news and talk.
The station previously featured a local morning program called “Real News” with host Grant Henry. Henry left the station in June 2019.
Upon Henry’s exit, the morning show was immediately re-branded as “Knoxville’s Morning News,” featuring a rotation of various hosts (including controversial local politicians Stacey Campfield and Elaine Davis), but maintaining the same basic format and topics. The new show continued the station’s fierce opposition to Recode Knoxville with a small, but vocal, group of callers who frequently hijack the show and don’t allow other topics to be discussed. The show is produced by Rachel “Roz” Adams, who is also host of her own Podcast.
Syndicated programs include daily shows This Morning with Gordon Deal, The Glenn Beck Program, The Ben Shapiro Show, The Dave Ramsey Show, The Lars Larson Show, The Dennis Prager Show, and George Noory’s Coast To Coast AM.
Hourly news updates are provided by Fox News Radio.
Beginning with the 2019 season, WETR became the flagship station for the Tennessee Smokies radio network.
History
WMEN, "The Spirit of 76", was an affiliate of Morningstar Radio Network.[1]
